  When I post a link to my blog http://kadenmcdevitt.com my blavatar is not being displayed. The text comes through correctly, but no image is displayed.

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

  Hello there!

  Sorry you’re running into this issue. Could you please take a look at the following document:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-image-thumbnail/

  Notice, specifically, the area that discusses Image Thumbnail Problems. If you’re still having trouble after working through the steps, please drop me a line. I can help troubleshoot further, once you’ve crossed those items off the list!

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  Thanks thatrobyn.
  I have read through this page. It does state on this page that “Your Blavatar is always used when sharing your blog’s main page on Facebook.” I believe that I have setup the Blavatar correctly (the image is showing on the TAB for the Home page). If I share a link to the About page ie. http://kadenmcdevitt.com/about this is displaying the featured image as I expect.
  I have also tried the facebook debug page, and still no image… :(

  Hey Craig!

  I did a test. I added http://kadenmcdevitt.com/ to a Facebook post. This is what I saw:

  

  I think your debug did work. I’m seeing your site’s image without trouble.

  Can you clear your browser’s cache using the instructions below:

  Then, add your homepage link to a Facebook post and let me know how that works out for you.

  Thanks much!

  Yep, looks all good now. I did not need to clear my browser cache.

  Hmm… interesting that the image was not appearing in the facebook debugger, yesterday…
  I am guessing it took some time to clear in the internet/facebooks caches.

  Thanks for you help!
