 * When posting to my fb timeline or page, the plugin grabs the image off an ad 
   in my right hand sidebar. I have tried using both the featured image and my themes
   thumbnail shortcode.
 * The image it grabs is the filemail logo at the bottom right: [http://www.paafeltet.org/?p=3917&lang=en](http://www.paafeltet.org/?p=3917&lang=en)
 * It would be sooo nice if the plugin had even the slightest bit of interaction.
   Like choosing where to post (maybe you dont want to send every WP post to fb)
   or choosing which image to display on fb (maybe there are multiple images). As
   is all I can do when posting is add some text, which is rather pointless as the
   text should already be in the WP post. Why would you need to add text to a post
   before showing it on fb? What kind of info would you need on fb that you don’t
   want to display in the original post on WP?

 * There is no og:image declared in the link you shared. The Facebook plugin outputs
   an og:image if the current post type supports featured images and the current
   post has a featured image.

 * That really doesn’t help me much. I just installed the plugin, added the open
   graph app on fb as instructed and now it doesn’t work. Where do I choose the 
   og:image. As the post has the option to include a featured image I guess we can
   assume that the current post type supports featured images and as I said I did
   select the featured image. Still the plugin grabs the filemail logo in the lower
   right hand corner as og:image, as is seen in the debugger.

 * What does that code do? Fallback image is what exactly? It’s been a while since
   I took programming at Uni, but it looks to me like it tells the plugin to use
   a WP logo on any page that doesn’t have a featured image. Problem is, my posts
   have featured images, the plugin just doesn’t display it properly. So instead
   of addressing the issue we just skip it by displaying something else that I don’t
   want to display?
