Hello
I saw many member asking how to post a clickable image in Facebook, it's simple just follow this step.

First step:

Upload the image that you want to be visible in Facebook, for example we will use this image.

Untitled.jpg

Now copy the image link and post it in Facebook.

2.jpg

Second step:

Now, when someone click in the post he will visit the image link. we need to redirect to our desired link, to do this open your ".htaccess" file in your Cpanel Filemanager and add this line.
Code:
redirect /image.jpg http://www.google.com
change "google.com" with your URL and "image.jpg" to your uploaded image.
now when someone click in the Facebook post image it will open another link in our example google.com.

Note:
Facebook update link information after 30 day that mean after 30 day the link information will be updated and the image will not be shown because the link image is redirected.
To fix that follow this step:
1. Remove the redirect line from .htaccess file.
2. Paste the image link in the Facebook debugger tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug which will refresh Facebook's cache
3. Apply the redirect again.
4. Repeat every time Facebook refreshes its cache.
 
I don't understand this. Isn't it clickable already when you post your website link and upload the image?
Mine seem to be fine no need to edit .htacess or anything.

The difference between post link and image clickable it will show only image without the url description,title and link in the post.
you can check the second image and you will get the difference.
 
Nice Tricks... Helpful...

Thanks...
 
".htaccess" file in your Cpanel Filemanager

Where can I find the CPanel FileManager? Sorry for the dumb question :)

".htaccess" file in your Cpanel Filemanager

Login to cPanel.
Click on "File Manager" in the "Files" section.
Select "Document Root for:" and select the domain name you wish to access.
Make sure "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)" is checked.
Click the "Go" button.
The File Manager will open in a new tab or window.
Look for the .htaccess file in the list of files. You may need to scroll to find this file.
Right click on the file and click on "Code Edit" on the menu. (Alternatively, you can click on the icon for the .htaccess file and then click on the "Code Editor" icon at the top of the page.)
A dialogue box may appear asking you about encoding. Just click on the "Edit" button to continue.
The editor will open in a new window.
Edit the file as needed.
Click on the "Save Changes" button in the upper right hand corner when done.
The changes have been saved. Test your website to make sure it has the desired effect. If not, correct the error or revert back to the previous version until your site works again.
Once complete, you can click "Close" to close the window.
