When plugin is fired on Category Blog Layout then only first found image in Articles will be added to header. You can change it at plugin configuration, to add all found images.
By default this plugin stars at the end of preparing content. So if another plugin will create thumbnail of your resized image, then Facebook Link Content Image Plugin will pass to Facebook this smaller image. Remember that order of plugins in Administration Panel is important.
You can change to start plugin at the beginning of content prepare by setting it at plugin configuration.
You can also set default image in plugin configuration which will be shown if no image was found in article.
NOTICE!
The image must be at least 50px by 50px and have a maximum aspect ratio of 3:1. Facebook supports PNG, JPEG and GIF formats.
If you share link with your Joomla article it can not contain hash in url, because Facebook will link without image.
It Works only for HTTP urls!

TIP!
If Facebook can not find link tag with image it puts list of images from site which has absolute path (contains domain name in src attribute in img tag).

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank so much. Worked like a charm.
For some weeks I have noticed that my article images were no longer showing in Facebook. Rather my rss sidebar image was displayed. This was driving me nuts!
Something a correspondent said in a post pointed me here and I tripped over this great extension.
Problem now resolved! This plugin is the answer to my prayers!

This plugin is just what I was so searching for. I used it for my website because of the image issue with the "Facebook like" button. I first tryed some of the extensions for the like button, but all the time I was getting undesired linked images. Then in a forum I found a link to this plugin that solved my problem. The plugin works fine and the usage is simple. I am so thankful, that I took the time and registered to this page and wrote my very first review.
This is the first time I've written a review about an extension, and I'm doing so for this because it does exactly what it says it will, and it works beautifully. You download, install, set the default image, and that's it.
I had one issue with W3 validation, but was able to solve it by editing the plugin's php file so that it places the image links in HTML comments . Facebook still reads the link, and the page now W3 validates :)
I wish all plugins were as easy to use and as functional as this one!

This Plug In worked great for me and my FaceBook account. I had an error in my canonical settings that the developer helped me resolve. Even though it was not a problem with the Plug In, he still helped me get the problem fixed and both the site and FaceBook entries work seamlessly...Ken
Very good! No problems at all! And facebook problem solved for good!
The Facebook Like image thumbnail issue was driving me insane. Whenever someone Liked an article, it was publishing it to their wall with a Twitter icon. Now it is publishing the correct image from the top of the article. Thank you so much for providing this as a free plugin!!!
5 star review. This does what it says and it sorts the problem once and for good!
