Once you’ve added these details, don’t forget to click Save on the post, and you’re all set!

Facebook sharing issues
Section titled “Facebook sharing issues”When sharing through Facebook and encountering issues where images don’t display. The causes are usually as follows:
- Image is too large - recommended size 100K - 200K
- Image filename is in Thai - Facebook gets confused when reading it
- Hosting is in Thailand with slow international network speed - Facebook loads and freezes. If hosting is in Singapore, you won’t encounter this issue
