Facebook sharing always showing author avatar's picture for first image, but Facebook find the second one , which is the one inside the post content (the right one).
Example :

How to resolve it please ?

You can seld-host an iframely server

Anyway, is there a solution to avoid the avatar's picture when sharing on facebook please ?

We see this too, we get either the author's pic or the ads on the sidebar.

@Yannick-Deslandes @arranka Maybe using this Facebook meta tags will help you to customize the preview (especially the
og:image
meta tag which allows you to choose a custom image for the preview):<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/arts/international/when-great-minds-dont-think-alike.html" /> <meta property="og:type" content="article" /> <meta property="og:title" content="When Great Minds Don’t Think Alike" /> <meta property="og:description" content="How much does culture influence creative thinking?" /> <meta property="og:image" content="http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/19/arts/international/19iht-btnumbers19A/19iht-btnumbers19A-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg" />
Theoretically, it will look like this:

That's not what we get. We get what you don't want. I want what you want.
