Hi there,

You can try adding the following to the head tag markup in header.php...

<meta property="og:image" content="(your-image-link)"/>

More info here: http://www.am22tech.com/thumbnail-facebook-share-links/

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

When I share the main domain address on social media, I see that it seems to want to include an image that was previously being used as the site icon. To my knowledge I've removed every instance of that image from my site's media library, but it keeps coming up when trying to post on Facebook, etc.

I'd like to use a different picture in that context; is there a way to control (or have multiple options for) what image appears when sharing the site address on social media? Thanks!
