Hello!
I need a little help!
I want to share an article on Facebook (made with a new Page and including some pictures from a Gallery), but when I paste the link on FB, no images are available as thumbnail..

Is there a way to show a picture when I share on FB the link? THANK YOU!

    When you say "article", do you mean a page or gallery? I'm going to assume that.
    See if these work:

    - Go to your page or gallery: Customize/Gallery Settings
    and make sure you choose a feature image.

    - Also add a description in the description field, if there isn't already one, because otherwise the link will post on Facebook with {shudders} "Your pictures look better on Smugmug".

    - Then copy the URL link to your page or gallery, and go to:
    https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
    paste it and run it through this tool until you see the image appear.

    Then your link should have the image on Facebook.

    I've struggled over strange behavior between SM and FB for awhile now, and there are some situations that just don't work right, but I haven't pinned down the context. Meaning, I hope this works for you!
