    We are wanting to share posts on facebook. Currently if we designate a featured image it works. However sometimes we will not have a featured image and currently, in that situation, the wordpress header appears. I’ve tried defining a default image in Yoast to no avail. What can I do to make other images in a post appear instead of the wordpress header?

    WordPress Seo from Yoast has a Social section where you could define default Fb image (at least 200 x 200). Other than that, there are also per page options in Yoast settings for title and image displayed on Fb.
    In Weaver II there was a setting for default social image. Not anymore in Weaver Xtreme ?

    Thanks Alergic. I haven’t found one in Weaver Xtreme. Where is it in Weaver II?

    For now the Yoast option works. Thank you so much

    According to the latest WordPress.org theme standards, it is no allowed to include Facebook (or similar) connections in a theme – it is strictly plugin territory.

    It is only in Weaver II because it was added to the repository before the new standards.
