A default image you upload to your server's home directory named "social_default_image" (.jpg or .png), or if none... 1. The site theme's custom logo, or if none... 1.

Why doesn't the result look like it should? = Make sure you don't have another plugin, like Jetpack, adding Open Graph tags too. = How can I force the link preview and/or image to be different from the page content? = Put a <div> tag at the top of the content area with your text and image within. Then add the CSS style display:none; to the <div>. Now the <div> won't display on the page, but the meta tags will use this content. For example: <div style="diplay:none;"> Sentence one. Sentence two. Sentence three. <img src="myimage.png" /> </div> Begin page content... = How can I ask a question? = Please contact me at: mitch@elementengage.com = Can I add Twitter tags and others too? = No, but I can for you.
