How to Change Your Application Thumbnails
Follow these simple steps in order to change the icon for an application on your Facebook Page:
- Open the admin panel for your Facebook Page
- Find the Manage menu drop down, and select ‘Edit Page’
- In the left menu select Apps
- Find the app that you want to change the icon for, and click ‘Edit Settings’ underneath the icon name and description.
- Click ‘Change’ next to the Custom Tab Image option
- Facebook will take you to a new screen, here you need to click ‘Change’ again next to the app icon.
- Facebook will then take you through the process of uploading a new image.
Note that some app developers do not let you change their application’s icons, in which case you are stuck with what they gave you – sorry!
If You Want to Create Your Own Facebook Timeline App Icons
Of course, you might want to come up with your own custom thumbnails to really make your page unique. If you do, the dimensions for the thumbnail images are 111 pixels wide by 74 pixels tall. Good luck!

@seandsmith - best to drop an email to our support team on that one (support @ wishpond.com). The fix depends on the import method that you have chosen for your store.
