    Not sure I understand your question..??
    Now I’ve added the <meta property=”og:image”….> parameter into my header.php file it always work for me, but it only puts the picture I specified in the <meta> parameter, no others, even if there is a picture within the post.
    I can only suggest you try adding a plugin, as Synved the Author has said.

    Hey I managed (well I think I did it..!??!) to fix it..!!
    If you’re happy to use the same ‘cover picture’ all the time, then you need to add the following ‘meta property’ into the <head></head> section of your pages. So I embedded it into my header.php file:
    <meta property=”og:image” content=”URL link to your chosen picture to insert.jpg” />
    .
    Now works fine! I remembered from an earlier issue with my original non-wordpress website that this is one of the meta parameters that facebook requires…if you don’t set this then it finds it’s own choice…!!

    Am still building new blog page for my site and I have the same issue.
    If there is a picture within the post then the facebook share uses it, but if the post is just text then a random picture from my site is inserted in the facebook share link..??? How can I stop this, or even better change the code to always insert my chosen cover picture..?
    Help?
