Dear all,
I have created a wedding album gallery and I want to share the link over facebook so my "friends" can see the album design. I am copy pasting the link of my gallery but

  1. the image shown from facebook is not the first of my gallery
  2. some string in the title appear that I have not included in the design of the page.

How facebook decides what elements to pick from my gallery?
I would like to thank you for your help
Regards
Alex

    Before copying link, go to 2nd photo then back to the first. It should then include a photo code at the end of the link. i.e /i-xxxxxxx
    Go to customize at top and into gallery settings. Add some text in the Description and see if that now shows in FB.

    Actually by copy and paste of link, after it generates in FB you should be able to edit the text there.

    In any gallery, I use Smugmug style, I go to the photo in the gallery I want to show on FB and copy the link in the browser. I paste that into a FB message and wait a few seconds for it to generate the gallery. Collage type gallery don't work because the photo link does not show in the browser link.

    After the gallery generates I delete the link and add some text.

    Hi Alex,
    In case you still have an issue and don't want to share the link here, it's best if you contact us on our HelpDesk with the link. Without the specific link it'll be difficult to see what you see to be able to assist you further.
