Hi,

I published one page website (http://www.elsecretodelingles.com) using your creativity template in Joomla 3.3 and I have a problem in sharing that url in Facebook.
When I did it, Facebook automatically chose an image in the Demo folder (creativity_blog.jpg) that had a grey background with the text "gk demo". I changed it with another image (naming it the same that the original) but it didn't work.
So I installed a plugin (Perfect Link with Article Images on Facebook
plugin-perfect-image.jpg
) that works fine in another joomla website I made, but now sharing the website in facebook it displays a white image...
facebook-shared-website.jpg

Is there a way to change this? I enclose 2 screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

the URL to share is http://www.elsecretodelingles.com/ you can use the addthis sharing tool at the bottom of page.
I've just tried sharing the page and now it displays only the text without image. It's better than before, but it's not what I would like to be, it's better sharing with text and image.

I send you 2 screenshot with:
- sharing typing directly in FB the url address http://www.elsecretodelingles.com
sharing-directly-in-facebook.jpg

- sharing using the addthis FB button at the bottom of website http://www.elsecretodelingles.com
sharing-from-website-with-addthis-fb-button.jpg

In both cases, no image is displayed.

Thanks

Hi,

your open graph tags are empty. You can check what facebook is grabbing from your site with:

Hi

Yes, @Banana7777 is right. You need to configure it in one of the places as article, category or menu item settings.
