    Default Re: Facebook LIKE button adds wrong picture

    Have you entered your facebook admin number as its telling you to the metatag?

    If you havent set up an admin page, go to the Facebook insights page and add your domains. This will give you the admin id to add to the meta-tag.

    Thank you so much for the help! Facebook baffles me...I found my insights page, but I can't find my admin number? Where should I look? Sorry for the dumb questions!

    https://www.facebook.com/insights/

    Click on the 'insights for your website' green button on the top right.

    Add your domain, and then it will create the metatag for you.

    From this insights page you can get demographic info from your like button regarding shares, age groups etc..

    I'm a bit perplexed. I was running 1.5.1 and was getting the correct image. Recently updated to 1.5.3

    What I'm finding now is that if I link to one of my preexisting products the link goes up in facebook with the right image.

    The item I've added since the update doesn't bring up the right image. Pinterest gets the right image.

    metatag appears to be correct and old products post correctly, just not the new ones.

    Any thoughts?

    Here is the item which posts the wrong image to facebook

    Even more interesting, when I pull the URL and just past it into facebook, I'm getting the wrong image more often then the correct on. This points not to the like code but more like the database isn't serving the correct image???? Doesn't make sense as the page always gets the right image

    When I view the source view from the page it sure appears to reference the correct image. In this case

    <meta property="og:image" content="http://loveofthehorse.com/images/melissa-doug-giant-stuffed-horse.jpg" />

    Finally figured out why the wrong image posting in social media

    In order to speed up image loads, if an image didn't need to be square, but was either tall or wide, Zencart handled it fine. So the image might be 180px by 90px

    Facebook and pinterst wouldn't recognize these, I got no valid image or it just selected the next available image it like. Hence why it posted the "wrong" picture

    Solution was to pad the images and square them up. On an image that didn't get pulled right, resized and was then getting the right image posted
