(I was advised to post all of this here.  For all browsing, they supposedly use the number of upvotes to prioritize changes... so please upvote any requests that you support)

I have placed custom header code (OG:Image) to display a specific image when my marketplace is shared on facebook.  However it currently puts that code on every single page, so when I share an individual item it displays my marketplace picture instead of the item's picture.  Request that we have a field for custom code on the homepage, and a field for all the rest of the pages.

  I notice that I don't have an image at all when I am sharing my site on Facebook, is there any problem?

  Yeah, that's what I was getting before I added my OG Image meta tag.  Note that my image is hosted on one of my other websites, not natively in the Arcadier platform.

  Beware though, if you do this, the code will be inserted on every single page and override any item pictures etc that would normally show.  To me at this stage, more home pages are being shared on FB than items or seller pages so that is what I am still doing.

  Hi Or Or. 

  First off I have a separate website hosted on Zoho Sites that has nothing to do with my marketplace, where I can upload files to and link to.  I found the correct dimensions for sharing a facebook link image on a google search, saved my image, and uploaded it.  It is not the same image as I am using as a home banner image on my marketplace.

  In my Arcadier admin panel, I put this code into the header:  
  <meta property="og:image" content="YOUR IMAGE URL"/>


  If you want this to be your marketplace banner, then right-click it in chrome and click inspect to find the URL.  I think if you plug that in it will work.

  Yay another bug.  Changing the format of "If you want..." section to normal text does nothing.
