I have been sharing our website www.LPEX.org on Facebook and it is not pulling a good image from LPEX, how do we select the image we want it to pull or how can it pull the logo?

I have attached an example of what I am talking about. Thanks!

Hello,

You should consider installing a K2 Open Graph plugin like this one: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... aph-for-k2

This is great for K2 articles, but what about when I am sharing the main website on Facebook? Any ideas? Can I try to share something on a Gavick facebook so you can see what I am talking about?

Please try to replace a layouts/facebook.php content with contents of the layouts/default.php file.

Where do I do that? Is there a way to select the image that we want to be used on Facebook? Usually, when you go to post you are given the option of a few images but likely due to the code that doesn't happen.

If facebook crawler detects few images then it gives you an option to select the image, but as I know not in all cases - it is in general not issue with our template, because our template has no built-in full Open Graph support.
