  Why the appearance of a post is different from one to another when I automatically share it with Facebook?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We have no control on the Facebook display and have no answer to this question.

  but the strange thing is that i publish different post on WP (automatically shared with FB) and sometimes it appears on FB timeline with a generic icon of WP instead of the actual picture of my WP post. I assume it is because the settings of my picture is different, may be the size, maybe the format… but I don’t see any difference.

  When using Publicize, note that we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
