i have tested here https://community.mybb.com/thread-222910...pid1328325
but Facebook was showing empty image


thanks

Blogs and forums aren't providing the same contents. A blog has articles, whith head picture and text (chapo) and content (article), when a forum has only threads (article).
It could be possible to add a "thread head picture" in a thread, with a plugin, but you have to ask it in the good section an have a reflexion on how you want to make it working: first picture in the thread or a custom MyCode like [headimg]...[/headimg] ?
thanks for reply
I can't find any plugin or code for it
I want to use first image in thread as features image for social media share
thanks
Hi,

what I use it's a default image (of my forum's brand).

Just add it in your headerinclude template:
<meta property="og:image" content="https://your.forum/images/forum-logo.png" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://your.forum/images/forum-logo.png" />

This image will not change, but it's better than nothing  Wink

So you need a plugin (I know, it doesn't exist yet) because the meta property must be in the header of the page. And I'm not sure it's really easy to do that: the image is in a post (postbit), so not directly accessible by the page's hooks.
I have find one https://mods.mybb.com/view/facebook-open...-meta-tags

Did you change "compatibility" => "14*,16*"  into: "compatibility" => "18*"  in the pbmeta.php file on line 39?


return array(
 "name" => $lang->fbmeta,
 "description" => $donate_button.$lang->fbmeta_description,
 "website" => "",
