It seems that this question has already been answered here. Here is another useful link. Thanks for the question. It made me find out what I can use.

Update. Having tried it and not working, I tried the method in this post. It didn't work at first, but it was because I forgot to upload the image. So it may be that the original method may still work. Here is the template I used in my section:

<meta property="og:title" content="your title"> <meta property="og:description" content="your description"> <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.yoursite.com/your-image.jpg">

Update 2: If Facebook doesn't seem to recognize your code, try the lint tool . It does two things. The obvious one is that it reports any errors in your code. Secondly, it updates the Facebook cache on the page. I had two pages where the new code was not recognized until I did this.

From my own tests, Facebook should find images on your site without problems if they appear directly in html (like <img src="path/to/img.png" /> 1 ), and not via css ( background-image: url(path/to/img.png); ).

This is my own test on the site: http://davidrhysthomas.co.uk/so/fbookImg.html , admittedly, it doesn’t have the “Share this page” button, so you need to log in to Facebook first, which may make a difference. But I do not have a Facebook developer account, which, unfortunately, can be used to test this theory.

  • Either absolute or relative paths do not seem to matter.

in my experience using the drupal website, the logo was not recognized because the drupal system displays the relative path. changing this to the full path using http: // and updating the FB cache should work
