 * Hi:
 * Can’t find a reason for why LinkedIn doesn’t pull the correct image from the 
   wp post. Pulls the wrong image. Posting via Hootsuite. Haven’t had the problem
   before using this plugin. I start using the plugin for having the images appear
   on some third party sites, that works fine now. Only linkedIn is doing strange
   now.
    Does it have to do with the image size? There isn’t a “use original size”
   feature for the summary option right?
 * I hope you could suggest something.
 * Thanks.

 * As far as I know, Linkedin does not use feed data for how they choose images 
   for posts on their site–they will use the featured image, or whatever you set
   in your [Open Graph tags](https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin).
 * [This post for a Linkedin thumbnail workaround](http://smashingboxes.com/ideas/linkedin-thumbnail-workaround)
   isn’t very new but I found it with a quick google search and some other sites
   linked to it as well.
 * This plugin is really for the feed only, and intended for users who need a good
   image solution with email providers, which is why the original image size is 
   not available as an option, because it’s quite often too large. The smaller images
   are just smaller copies, so the size shouldn’t cause what you’re seeing, even
   if Linkedin is looking at your feed.
 * If you need a solution to help with social sharing, I don’t think this plugin
   is what you’re looking for. Some of the more robust social sharing plugins allow
   you to select specific images for specific networks; I believe [Yoast’s SEO plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/)
   also does this.
