  I published blog posts via connection to a Facebook page, but the post on the Facebook page is not showing the featured image in the preview.

  Post: https://mensblogs.blog/2024/01/24/messages-of-encouragement/

  I have followed the guidelines in https://wordpress.com/support/facebook-image-thumbnail/ by resizing the image, making sure it is not over 8MB, and so on, however every time I ‘scrape’ the URL, the preview shows blank image.

  Also there is a warning at the top of the scraping page ‘Provided og:image URL, https://saravanaca8677c530b.files.wordpress.com/2024/01/inspirational-words-collage3.jpg could not be processed as an image. It may be corrupted or may have an invalid format’

  Not sure I get this warning because I can access the image just fine via the URL above, it is in an accepted format (JPEG), its size matches the requirements.

  Please help to rectify this.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  I have the same problem. I see there’s been no response. How do we get WordPress to address this?

  Hi @saravanaca8677c530b when I check your post in the Facebook debugger it does appear to show your featured image in the preview that I see:

  

  I also no longer see the og:image URL warning on that page, so it may be the case that Facebook finally re-scraped the post and updated the image on their end. Is this the case for you as well?
