How to change preview images / thumbnails

[musikzumm]

Hi,

are there any settings / possibilites to change my preview image / thumbnail picture when posting a link to my webiste?

It happens very often, that I post a link to my page (in facebook, mails, blog-comments or so) and there always appear unsuitable pictures. I would like to specify a picture myself, e.g. my symbol-icon / logo.

Thanks a lot and kind regards,
musikzumm

Hi Adam, I did this but it is still pulling the incorrect image. 

Any idea how to specify which image to pull from the site? its size?

www.sknowledge.ca is the page.

Thanks!

What image should it be using, @lavpizzo? I used the Facebook debugger to see what facebook sees right now, but I'm not sure if that's the right image or not.

Hello,

Is there a simple way to change the preview image associated with the website URL? Can you please send clear instructions with screenshots?

Thanks,

I've figured it out. I no longer need help. 

Thank you.

Got it! The issues was the header code. I was able to resolve it using this code:

<meta property="og:image" content="WebLinktoFileName.png" />

Thanks !

Great! Glad to hear that.

Thanks so much for these clear instructions!  I was able to do this and I'm so happy!!

Dieses Bild wird mit einem Meta-Tag hinzugefügt, das Sie unter Einstellungen> SEO> Header-Code haben. Versuchen Sie, das zu entfernen, erneut zu veröffentlichen und Facebook die Seite erneut abkratzen zu lassen.

Yes, I tried. Many times.

Doesnt work:/ You can never see the og-image I choosed.

Can a weebly-programmer/ code-expert/ developer help?

Thx.

Are you still trying to add the image through the backend? I think it would be easier to bypass the css/html area, and just add your og image code to Settings>SEO>Header. It sounds like there may be conflicting information that is causing you to see different images intermittently.

FYI...when I do this, it throws an the image at the top of my Header, which I do not want.

Hi @hctgbridalfair

Can you confirm the website URL, and let us know the specific picture you wish to use as the thumbnail image?
