Hi, whenever I am going to share new post with featured image in Facebook page or profile timeline, its not fetching the big featured image, its showing like the following screeshot
Significantly after this 6th May posting its not showing full width featured image in Facebook.
Google plus is showing fine.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Facebook chooses how to show images based on several factors – size of original images, orientation, and the specific image set as featured in the og:image tag.
You have zero control over that, sadly.
Sometimes they capture with the image to side, then later it expands to full width. Only works usually if the image is rectangle, and large enough for their “large” image size.
The preview as in your example above isn’t always the “final” posted version on timeline.
Welcome to Facebook.
Hi,
Thanks Chris!

Looks like its showing fine now: http://screencast.com/t/HnGxCNZuTq51
Theme doesn’t control the open graph tags which are used by fb and other sharing systems to share your posts’s info however on post pages the theme adds this og:image meta tag: http://screencast.com/t/gBuxntCpZc this was initially added to for post that use the video format or don’t have any feature image set and you can try to change the image size there: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src ..to control this. Please keep in mind though that if you’re using a plugin that adds additional og tags this could not work.
Thanks
Hi,
I am using this opengraph plugin
Facebook Open Graph, Google+ and Twitter Card Tags
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/
should i disable it?
is the theme by default has the opengraph embedded and for this above plugin its giving problem?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
The theme only adds the og:image and author meta tags so you need to use a plugin for those other og tags which the plugin adds on your page: http://screencast.com/t/vfOxcMwsZDHR and the sharer needs.
We recommend using the Yoast WordPress SEO: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ for this which adds those tags automatically to your page and it also gives you the ability to control those meta tags content from post editor and most of all it has been tested and works with the theme.
Thanks
