hello

i am having LOTS of trouble with the facebook like box. whether its the left floating icons, or the like box i have at the bottom of the post, for some reason when i click the like button it displays a different picture on my facebook. it actually displays a random pic from a totally unrelated article thats no where on the page.

i tried installing a plugin thats supposed to make facebook pull its "like" picture from the featured image ( called Facebook Like Thumbnail), but that didnt do anything either.

i hope you can help...this is exceptionally frustrating.

heres an example post: dev.theyogablog.com/avengers-sexist-reason/

Hi Matt,

What plugin(s) are you currently using for the Facebook Like buttons?

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Matt,

Would you give the "Facebook Open Graph Meta in WordPress" plugin a try?
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-op...h-meta-in-wordpress/

It should hopefully resolve the issue for you.

Kind regards,
Nick

it was a facebook glitch. but im really glad you showed me that plugin because i noticed it was asking me for meta data...i had no idea what it was talking about.
