Title: Image Selection Last modified: November 8, 2016 --- # Image Selection * Resolved [dustycat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustycat/) * (@dustycat) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-selection-2/) * Could you confirm the logic used to select an image from a post to use for the‘ Image Post’ option in Facebook and that are attached to Twitter tweets? * I am using custom post types and have two custom fields – main image and additional images (which is a repeating field). These two fields are used to create a Flexslider of images. * The problem I have is that instead of choosing the Main Image, your plugin appears to be choosing the first item uploaded into the ‘Additional Images’ field. * As I am using a plugin that enables user content submission via front-end forms. having a featured image for each post isn’t an option. * My suspicion is that when your plugin doesn’t find a featured image, it is looking for other images in the post and because ‘Additional Image’ is before ‘Main Image’ alphabetically, it is reading this field first. * Is there something I can do to get your plugin to select my Main Image rather than one of the additional images?
