How can I control what image is made primary when sharing a page on my site? I’m seeing very mixed results.
Hey!
Social networks use a thing called Open Graph to detect what content gets shown, you can use this plugin to set that:

Also, use this tool to debug your site open graph data:

Thanks! I knew what was causing it (i’ve heard of OG) I just don’t understand how to fix it. That Debug site is completely greek to me.
The plugin looks straightforward but it doesn’t say anything about images. I’m trying to figure out how to denote on every page and post I create which specific image for OG to use so I can control that. I wish there was a plugin that added this as a part of the editing layout or something. I still feel completely clueless on this.
Does this plugin look like it does it? It appears to put a Choose/Upload box at the end of the editing area.

Haven’t tried it but give it a go, there are tons of plugins that do that.
