# [Plugin: Facebook] Wrong featured image

 * The OpenGraph metadata for the plugin doesn’t define images inserted inside the
   post. Because of that, it’s picking up the first image from my featured posts
   on the top of my site, and not an image related to the post. OpenGraph should
   list links for images inside each post.

 * Thanks.

 * I am having the same issue.

   gives me the expected result, but when sharing a post, it shows the first image
   from related posts.

 * Thanks for the feedback, we’ll take a look.
 * Do you have steps that we can take to reproduce the issue we’re seeing (posting
   an article, setting images, etc)?

 * This error always happen (Raphael, do you concur ?), you can see it here : [http://www.ykone.com/kenzo](http://www.ykone.com/kenzo)
 * The opengraph tag has the correct image set, but when I click share, I see the
   first image from related posts, not the one set in the tag.

 * Correct, you just need to share any link from a site like ours, that has related/
   featured images on the top. Mine is working now because I’m not currently using
   this plugin.

 * FWIW, I’ve seen the same behavior with regards to Facebook ignoring og:image 
   with likes/shares using the new plugin. I haven’t done an exhaustive comparison,
   but sites that it’s working on seem to still be using the (older?) open graph
   meta tag style in the header such as still [documented here](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/):
 * `<meta property="og:tag name" content="tag value"/>`
 * where the current plugin is using:
 * `<meta property="http://ogp.me/ns#locale" content="en_US" />`
 * When I run pages through the debugger, it shows that they have the image tag,
   but when I share them, it’s hardly ever the image chosen.

 * I’m currently using this plugin:

 * Here’s an example:
 * [http://macmagazine.com.br/2012/07/18/%E2%86%AA-apple-libera-update-para-todos-os-seus-macbooks-mais-recentes/](http://macmagazine.com.br/2012/07/18/%E2%86%AA-apple-libera-update-para-todos-os-seus-macbooks-mais-recentes/)
 * On the source code:
 * `<meta property="og:image" content="http://macmagazine.com.br/wp-content/uploads/
   2012/06/26-mbp01-600x350.jpg">`
 * That’s how it should work.

 * [@matt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt/) Kelly: I am having the same
   issue…
 * When I share, like or comment on a post using the Facebook WordPress Plugin, 
   the wrong image is used on my timeline.
 * If you comment on this page, the wrong image will show up: [http://shopwithmeaning.org/2012/07/better-world-books-changing-their-world-with-one-for-one-books/](http://shopwithmeaning.org/2012/07/better-world-books-changing-their-world-with-one-for-one-books/)

 * Change line 138 of file wp-content/plugins/facebook/fb-open-graph.php
    from: `
   $meta_tags['http://ogp.me/ns#image'] = array( $image );` to: `$meta_tags['og:
   image'] = array( $image );`
 * Solves the problem for me… beware of plugin updates, which will remove the fix.
