 * Dear Sir,
    I have a problem with Custom Homepage Image URL and Social Image Fallback
   URL. I would like to leave it empty but it’s impossible. When i try to delete
   the same image come back or i can only change it. The problem is that when i 
   use addtoany to share on facebook , don’t publish the image that i have put in
   the wordpress article but the standard image of social image. The only solution
   is change the image in social image url before publish it. Thank in advance

 * Hi, even if you leave it empty and there are any images on your website (I assume
   they are), Facebook will automatically add that image. [Facebook’s best practices](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices/)
   don’t even mention possibility to have blank image for sharing. If you try to
   circumvent by using 1×1 pixel or any image smaller than 200x200px will get ignored.
   In another words, if your page has at least 1 image larger then 200x200px, if
   will get picked up by Facebook and other social media.
 * You definitively should have at least one image specified, I would suggest the
   fallback image, so this way you at least have a control over image published 
   on social media — you should take into account, that someone else can share any
   of your published pages/posts and empty image is just not going to fly.
 * On the top of that, this is hurting user experience and by extension your SEO.
   If you have problems with mismatching images, or images not updating, use [Facebook’s sharing debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/).
   Button `Scrape again` will always bring you currently used image. I hope this
   helps, if you have further issues just follow up here! Cheers 🙂

 * Hi [@marchino65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marchino65/),
 * The Open Graph and Twitter images are fetched in this order, and the first match
   is chosen:
 *     ```
       Main override filter 0.
       SEO Settings homepage custom social image (if home)
       Post custom social image (if singular)
       Featured Image (if singular)
       SEO Settings social custom fallback image
       Fallback filter 1
       Custom header (theme support)
       Fallback filter 2
       Site logo (theme support)
       Site icon (theme support)
       ```
   
 * With WooCommerce, product gallery images are added too as extras.
 * Compare the order above to what you’re experiencing, and I hope it should be 
   a little clearer.
 * Note that The SEO Framework doesn’t pull images from the post’s content. We were
   planning to implement this, but it never got through while prioritizing “you’re
   in full-control” options.
 * When only one Open Graph image is outputted, you can’t select the image when 
   sharing the article.
    This is intended behavior because the Social Image URL 
   option is a “you’re in full-control” option.
 * Regardless, I’ve escalated your concern on GitHub where other users can easily
   contribute their thoughts:

 * I hope this clears things up. Cheers! 🙂
