Thumbnails

[Tatty]

Hi everyone I have recently taken over a website for a voluntary organisation with the CMS made simple system, I am fairly new to CMS s but everything looks straight forward enough. There is just one thing I cant work out at present. I would like to know how to edit what appears when I share the website address as a link to social media as the thumbnail and text that appears is out of date. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

That information usually comes from meta tags. Facebook uses Open Graph for it (google it). If no open graph metatags exist in the page it will fall back to other information (best guess).

That information can be in the global settings (metadata), or in a per page metadata section (Options tab when editing a page).

The person who built the template can also used some (smarty) logic to get the meta tag information from other places like page title or custom fields.
