For some reason on my website www.staceysebookreviewer.com the images that I have chosen to display under all-in-one SEO aren't loading when the facebook share buttons are push

Hey Stacey,

When I post things to Facebook, even direct links via the post box I never get an image show up either, it just shows text, perhaps it's a Facebook thing? Or maybe Facebook and Wordpress haven't been integrated? Or perhaps Facebook just doesn't like displaying website previews?

Also weird thing, Google+ sometimes doesn't display the first image on my post either, sometimes it will display the last or even the middle one for some reason?

Sorry this doesn't really answer your question, but at least you know your not alone!

Can someone please help me - i'm stuck?

Hello wonderful WA community!

I'm am slowly getting more and more frustrated because for the life of me I cannot figure out how to add images on my homepage for my posts.<

Hi everyone I have success! Thanks to all for your replies :-)

Most of my pictures are pics that I have taken myself, but I go to WP "add media", then "upload files" then open my external hard drive pick the picture, "open it" Most of the time it has loaded it.
Hope that helps.

I was just going to add 'featured image' when I scanned below and found many responses saying just that! Have a good day.

Hey MrsT, what is the Theme you are using? Maybe I can recreate the same issue and give you some pointers on how to add.
Cheers

Hi Paul ..... It's a promax theme ..... Sorry for the delay - time differences and all :-)

see what you mean this might be of help

Thanks MrsT for a great question, I learned something new from it!

Thanks everyone :-)

It is called your Featured Image. Here is how to set it and where it is in WordPress.

As Rob said, those are likely based on your Featured Images. You can edit this within every post down the right hand side under "Featured Image". See attached screenshot.

go into your post editor, scroll down and on the right you will see featured image, add a featured image then update the post

Hi Stacey, I'm not familiar with the theme. But what I did for mine is to search specifically: for your case, that would be "adding images in post ProMax theme" or "problem adding images in post ProMax theme", something like that.

And if this is a paid theme, check with the support team where you got it. You will definitely get help.

Or maybe somebody here in WA knows...

For example will it be viewed as repetition in my site? If so what is the alternative solution please

A great question! I needed that info, as well.

Wow .... Thanks for the speedy answers! I'll definitely take it onboard :-)

If you make a post page or category page in main menu, you can put post(s) there, their url will remain the same. See here about it:
http://justmythinking.com/wordpress-posts-page-add-post-in-menu

You can add the post to your top main menu if you want, no need to redo it as a page unless there is a reason I am not understanding

Good advice.

Thank you

Hello, if I have taken photos of iconic buildings and landmarks am I allowed to publish them on my website

If you took the pictures yourself, you are free to use them.

Unfortunately it will not be the case in the near future in the EU - they are introducing all manner of things to restrict what we do over here.

Thanks John - I'll have a look into it :-)

Wow! That sucks for you guys over there. But that would only apply to iconic buildings there, right? Like Stacey could still use here WA profile picture with the Empire State Building in the background if she wanted to.

That appears to be so at the moment, we have to wait and see how this develops over here, the so called GURUS in Brussels are trying to rule every aspect of our lives and I am canvassing for us to get out of the EU - we have trading partners all over the world and there is a lot of scare-mongering on this subject.

I think a lot depends on where you took the photo and where you live, the powers to be in Europe (the EU) and working at the moment to stop anyone taking photos, even with landmarks in the background.
It really is a minefield as many famous buildingd have copyright even though up-to-date they have not taken anyone to task over these.

Another thought is that in general, no one in authority is likely to see your published photo but if your website becomes an authority site, I would check out the implications - john

Any photographs you take are yours to use any way you want. Except photos of people - you need to have their written permission. Buildings are fine. ~Marion

Thanks :-)

If you took the pictures I don't see why not
Let's see what the community thinks =)

I just don't want to break any copyright laws on my first ever website :-)

I know lol, but I think if you are the owner of the pictures you can use them. But let's wait and see that other people say ! I want to be sure as well =)
