If the go:image meta tag points to your server and the images are served through Photo, that’s where Facebook is incapable of retrieving the images.

Google Plus never has that sort of problem.

In my view, the problem comes from Facebook.

I wanted to use a thumbnail image at 512×512 pixels. The resulting image is much larger than a thumbnail and cuts off. When sharing an image from my post to FB, am I required to use a specific size image? Would rather use a small icon image.

Hi Dave, you can take help from the Facebook Debug tool (mentioned in the last step of this guide) to preview how your image will appear on Facebook. Once you get the best results, use that image. 🙂

I’ve had my images not look right because the words are cut off because FB chops only the center portion of my image.

Hey Jason, Facebook sometimes miss the thumbnail from your post. One way is to go to Debugger for Facebook Developers and parse the URL of your post.

However, the easy way is what we mentioned by using Yoast SEO plugin in this post and as Keri suggested in her comment above. Hope that helps.

I am having this problem now, where when anyone clicks the facebook icon on an image, it shares the wrong image. The solutions presented here appear only to work if I want to manually fix the post that I make. How can I fix it so that it will work properly for my visitors?
