<blockquote>A list of thumbnails will all be selected from available images on your page.</blockquote>
It means facebook should automatically generate the thumbnail. Still, there is another way out: <blockquote>You can control the exact title, description, and thumbnail that Facebook Share uses by adding the following meta tags to the <head> element in your page<blockquote><meta property=”og:title” content=”title” />
<meta property=”og:description” content=”description” />
<meta property=”og:image” content=”thumbnail_image” /></blockquote></blockquote>
Meta tags generation is to be performed by the add-on which creates the share button.
Important note
<blockquote>The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported.
Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.</blockquote>As regards Like button, it also supports meta tags
<blockquote>og:image – The URL to an image that represents the entity. Images must be at least 50 pixels by 50 pixels. Square images work best, but you are allowed to use images up to three times as wide as they are tall.</blockquote>
But again – it depends on the add-on used by you.December 22, 2011 at 2:09 pm #430845Hi
Well , even if I copy the link from my browser address and use it in facebook still I am not get the thumbnails.
I had this problem even before installing of the share button plugins on my site.
