I want make it so that when you click on my cover image on my personal facebook page you get directed to my website instead of my fb photo gallery.

This is what I have done....

-Right clicked image -Inspected element -right clicked what the fb address i wanted to change -Edit HTML -added my website in the place of facebook's.

This worked, however it only worked with one click of the photo. After that it went back to the default facebook address in my photo gallery. My question is there anyway to change it permanently?

Thank you,

Brandon

No.

There are a few tools that you could use to automate what you did manually; injecting some Javascript into the page to modify the href attribute of that link. However, this is not a general solution and you would be the only one to see the effects, since Facebook doesn't see the change you made and other users won't have your script.

On the other hand, if you can find a way to inject javascript into a comment or post on your profile, you would be able to modify the link for anyone viewing your profile. Since this ability is a well known security issue, which Facebook protects itself against, your chances of success are slim.
