FACEBOOK REQUIREMENTS FOR IMAGES
The image must be at least 50x50 px (though minimum 200x200 px and maximum 1500x1500 px is preferred) and have a maximum aspect ratio of 3:1. Maximum image size is 5MB. We support PNG, JPEG and GIF formats. Facebook scrapes your page every 24 hours to ensure the properties are up to date.
Wow, install and BOOM! You can see your image when posting to FB. Good work.
I use this extension on regular basis. Thanks to that all links to my site on Facebook has pretty pictures. I do recommend it.
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!

META tag with attribute PROPERTY is valid in HTML5 and this is required attribute by Facebook that it can not be changed to anything else.
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!
