When I share my website URL on LinkedIn, its showing an image from my website, but it's not a relevant image. Can I change the Preview Image? 

<meta property="og:url" content="http://mywebsite.com/" />
<meta property="og:type"  content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="yyyy" />
<meta property="og:description" content="yyyy" />
<meta property="og:image"  content="http://mywebsite.com/wp-content/themes/newtheme/img/logo.png" />

I already set these meta tags.

  • @juice since you set property="og:image" then I’d say perhaps the image is cached on the LinkedIn side of things. Or perhaps open graph wants a relative path?? Or one with the same domain as your site? – jonathanbell Dec 29 '17 at 13:55

As you already have set the <og:image> tag correctly, the only thing you have to check is whether the image to be displayed fulfills the requirements of LinkedIn.

According to the “Making Your Website Shareable on LinkedIn” article, the image requirements specific to the LinkedIn sharing module are as follows:

  • Max file size: 5 MB
  • Minimum image dimensions: 1200 (w) x 627 (h) pixels

As the filename defined in your <og:image> tag is logo.png, I assume that it does not fulfill the size requirements described above.
