Hi - I noticed that when I shared an article to facebook, instead of the lead photo (which is usually the most eye-catching one) showing, the second photo in the article is pulling into the snippet that fb shows. I tested it on a few different articles and it did it on many (not all) of them. I tested on both mine, and other peoples articles and it was hit or miss.
If I'm sharing my own article it's not a problem because I can post my photo instead, but if I want to share someone else's, it could be.
Is there some setting we could be using to ensure that when an article link is copied, it's the lead photo that gets displayed? Thank you.
Did you post the link, press return, and give it time to load?
If that doesn't work you can add the picture manually
Yep to both - I did add my photo manually. I just wonder if other people issue, because they don't have the option to add it manually. Thanks.
I just finished posting a link in numerous FB groups and the pic came up fine every time. Weird.
Good to know. I'll try it again. thanks.

Hello, I have a peculiar problem. Whenever I open any of my articles, the videos do not show. All the other items (text, pictures) are fine but the videos. However, if I go to edit the article, the videos appear or if I search for my article on Google, the videos show. So, why don't the videos show...

What should be the minimum gap of time before I share the same hub with my followers. There are some hubs which I shared at its publication time. After some five months when I wanted to share it again a warning is being flashed of too much sharing which is not recommended. It has confused me....
