When i share a link on FaceBook or other social media it shows newest users within the link , i would like it to show the post or a photo within the post. Is there a setting that i can use?

Thank You,

I am not sure what you mean...  an image perhaps?

how are you sharing the post or link?

best to use a wp plugin that sets up og graph stuff on your site... or just use our ShareThis plugin for SP...

Yes instead of the newest users showing up when sharing link through the sharing plugin , i would like the post showing up or a photo used in the post that is shared.

Thank You Again,

still not sure what you mean by newest users...  or how they would get in there...

and you didnt really address whether you have a plugin adding open graph stuff or not..  without it, its willy nilly..

and you didnt really say how you are sharing the link... did you try the share this plugin?

I am confused. Are you saying that when you share a forum page then what gets shared is the new members list? What tool are you using to perform the share?

And I really do not know what you mean by that last question I am afraid. Can you explain what you mean in a little more detail?

What I'm saying is when i share a forum post no matter which post that is what shows up when i share it.

I'am using the Share this plugin..

The link shows nothing to do with post at all.

And what i was wondering is there a way that i can share a post and have the option as to what image i want to use in the shared link.

Thank You,
