I’m having a hard time getting my feature image for a blog post to be the one that pops up when I share my link on social media. I’ve tried using the Facebook debugger and it’s not working. It shows the default featured image (my logo). I want it to show the featured image I’ve set for that specific blog post. Is there any type of setting or code that pulls the featured image as the one that is shared with the link instead of the logo? Thank you!
Hey EMiller12,
You can set the image to be used when sharing on social network using a plugin like Yoast SEO.

Thanks for replying, but that’s not what I mean. Sorry, I probably didn’t describe the issue very well.
What’s happening is instead of reading the featured image it is using the logo set in Enfold > Theme Options in place of the featured image. I just need it to read the featured image that is set in the blog post. Whenever I post the link to social media it shows the logo as the preview image and not the featured image.
I need it to show the featured image that is set within the blog post. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if I can clarify anything.
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Thanks for the clarification, so did you actually set the image to be used on social networks using a plugins like the one I suggested? Otherwise social networks will usually pick the first image on the page. There is no functionality for this built into the theme, so you would have to use a third party plugin or custom code.
Best regards,

I added the Yoast plugin. I also placed an image into the post that I want to be seen when the link is shared. I’m all set. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
Did you need additional help with this or shall we close the topic?
