Image From Article When Sharing On Facebook

Template 1 year ago

Hi, I use Helix Ultimate on a site and when I share an article om Facebook, the image from the article is not shown, only the default image as shown here:

https://www.facebook.com/ostfoldfk

Article in site:

https://ostfoldfk.com/index.php/nyheter/aversjonsdressur-pa-sau-del-ii

How can I control that it is the article image (intro or main) that will be shared?

Best rgds, Jan Korshavn

If you're using Page Builder, there's an option for your open graph images in the page settings / SEO tab on your page builder page. https://prnt.sc/LYcRh5ReI22_

If you're not using Page Builder, you will likely need to look at installing a third party Open Graph plugin. I've used this one before and it's quite good.

Hi Jan,

In Helix Template Options > Blog > Details > Enable Open Graph: On > Save.

and try to share random article again.


Then in HTML code OG meta tag should be used, with main image link (Blog Option tab). And in theory, FB should use it.


There is no option to choose which image will be used in Helix. Only other, extra installed OG plugin(s) offers that feature.

For SPPB Pages - we have built-in settings.
