As noted here, https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/large-image-taken-from-facebook\/ Facebook changed its backend in the graph API. The correct items in the facebook graph are no longer \u201cpicture\u201d and \u201clarge.” <\/p>\n

Its now \u201ccover\u201d and \u201csource\u201d<\/p>\n

For example a graph API call to \/601792773227011?fields=cover<\/p>\n

produces the following as a result:<\/p>\n

{
\n\u201ccover\u201d: {
\n\u201ccover_id\u201d: 626227990770611,
\n\u201csource\u201d: \u201chttps:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-prn2\/t1\/s720x720\/1606959_626227990770611_435274039_n.jpg\u201d,
\n\u201coffset_y\u201d: 41,
\n\u201coffset_x\u201d: 0
\n},
\n\u201cid\u201d: \u201c601792773227011\u2033,
\n\u201cstart_time\u201d: \u201c2014-01-25T21:00:00+0100\u2033
\n}<\/p>\n

The sub-field \u201csource\u201d produces: https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-prn2\/t1\/s720x720\/1606959_626227990770611_435274039_n.jpg which his the large format \/ \u201cbig picture\u201d that a lot of people want.<\/p>\n

Is it possible for you guys to alter your facebook plugin so that it grabs the cover\/source instead of your current setting, picture? Or at least add an option to grab said “source” pictures?<\/p>\n

Also, can you set the featured image as this same cover\/source? <\/p>\n

I THINK lines 317-358 of the-events-calendar-facebook-importer.php control the picture graph api call, though there may be a few more sections of the code that you might need to alter (this was a cursory analysis and I havent had time to look at it that deep yet\u2026)<\/p>\n
