Hello

 

I discovered that all other pictures that are not k2 on the page I am posting as a link on Facebook show up as thumbnails (from which you can select one) but the main picture for the articles fails to show up.

I decided to include a picture directly in the body of the article too but this fails to show up too. This is an obvious disadvantage and I have attempted resolving it with a similar post I saw here but it did not work.

Can anyone help me out here please?

Hi.

 

Been using B Kemler's trick for a while now and it works perfectly for me:

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/item-image-as-facebook-sharing

Thanks for the suggestion. I saw and tried the codes but it did not work, picks up every other pic on the page except the item main picture and the pictures inserted into the article.

This is not good for me. I wish I have other options.

Niki,

Did you follow all the steps to get it working?  It's worked perfect for me and several other people.  

Are you not seeing the <link rel="image_src" href="...> in the page's source or are you seeing it and it does not work on facebook?

--Olivier

Yes, I can see <link rel="image_src" href="...> in the page source. I saw this in full: <link rel="image_src" . 

But it is not working on facebook.

If you access that img link directly, is the size of the image within the FB specs?

--Olivier

Dimension is 100px by 33px. The file size is 5.42kb.

It is also located in /media/k2/items/cache/94d43e327d9303539cb1e2aac7032668_XS.jpg

Did some calculation. Ratio for my pic will be 3.03. The height too is lower than 50px. If these are the problem, how to how sort this out. The actual image is larger even though the ratio may still be the same.
