Facebook & other social media

If I post my link to a social media, (lets talk about facebook) facebook will put the logo image (of my site) to the post. How I can change it and make facebook to upload another image?

I try this but doesn't work: <link rel="image_src" href="https://images.kinguru.gr/banner.jpg" / >
(I put it in the header)

For Facebook you need Open Graph tags in your header. Are you using a sharing extension which adds these? There are a few extensions out there, but I stopped using one recently because it was causing errors. Anyway, you need something like this:

<!-- Let the Facebook og tags begin -->
<meta property="og:title" content="Facebook Open Graph META Tags"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="https://davidwalsh.name/wp-content/themes/klass/img/facebooklogo.png"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="David Walsh Blog"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="Facebook's Open Graph"/>

<!-- For Twitter you need the following -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="https://davidwalsh.name/twitter-cards">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="How to Create a Twitter Card">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Twitter's new Twitter Cards API allows developers to add META tags to their website, and Twitter will build card content from links to a given site.">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://davidwalsh.name/wp-content/themes/punky/images/logo.png">

I believe there are other options (additional tags you can add) but this is just what I found doing a quick Google search.

010101 Thanks for sharing! I already added these in my header, however I'm still seeing the logo of the forum when I share it on Facebook. Already refreshed and waited a few days. There seems to be another sharing meta somewhere in the script, since the source code shows the logo and not any of these. Any idea how to fix this?

user1993 Could be a caching issue?

Also, I know some sites can show a unique image- whatever image you have in the post. But, hard coding the OG tags in without doing anything else, will not make it so that the OG image changes on a post by post basis. Just in case that’s the problem I thought I’d mention that.
