Facebook Share Thumbnail Problem: Fix It!

I recently faced a problem with Facebook Share, and I also figured out a way to fix it. If it doesn't really fix it, at least it will let you choose the right thumbnail for some time, until Facebook gets stupid again and stops allowing you to.

—————————————————————

Facebook Share problem symptoms:

- Only one picture will be available to post as a thumbnail.

- You have more than 2 [or 20] images on your blog/post, but Facebook won't let you choose among them.

- This didn't use to happen to you until some time ago.

A little explanation: This worked for me, but I tell you it will work for you, because it's not an official solution, it was just what happened to me.

So, how will you fix it?

There are many ways for you to fix that problem, but I personally only tried 3 of them.

—————————————————————

Method 1: Facebook Lint.

This will debug the link you wanna share on Facebook, making all images to be available to set as a thumbnail.

Type the address just like how you'll type on Facebook and click Debug. After it's debugged, try it on Facebook. It might show all images now.

Method 2: The second way I used is a bit more complicated once you'll have to read your HTML/CSS layout.

I had this option kinda easier because I wanted to change my blog's layout, so I had to delete the previous HTML codes (the ones not letting me choose the thumbnail) and create new codes.

—————————————————————

Method 3: This will require you to have some HTML knowledge, once you'll have to figure out which code is not matching Facebook Share's.

I soon found out that the code in conflict with Facebook was the scrip from customized themes on the polls I use on the end of most posts. When I removed all customized themes, all pictures soon got available on Facebook Share.

So, if you're having trouble on sharing links on Facebook, check all widgets and scrips you've added just before Facebook stopped loading your pictures.

Please note: This is not an official solution. It worked for me, but I don't guarantee it will work for you as well.
