    Hi,
    When I share a link to my website (http://truckeeriverguide.org) on facebook, it pulls a random image from my page as the sharing image. Unfortunately, it is choosing the logo of another non-profit called Nevada Bugs & Butterflies. I have lots of other images on my front page, so I’m not sure why this is the image that is appearing.

    Is there a place in Cornerstone or X to set a social sharing image so that I can control which image appears when someone shares a link to my site?

    Thank you,
    Kelsey

    Hi Kelsey,

    Thanks for writing in!

    You can try this third party plugin to be able to set title, description and image for facebook.

    Make sure to disable opengraph under socail in the customizer when using this plugin.

    Hope that helps.
