can't choose the image for my blog to post on FB
-
Recently I cannot choose the picture that displays on my blog when I post it to my FB page. In the past I could choose from three, but now WP chooses for me and it’s rarely the photo I want to display. Please tell me how to fix this.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Can you link me to the page you are having a problem with sharing, as well as a link to the FB share post so I can take a closer look?
Generally speaking, this is how we determine which image to use with your publicized posts, when manual selection is not possible.
- If you’ve selected a featured Image, it will be used on FB
- If you included a slideshow into your post, we’ll pick an image from there
- If you don’t have a slideshow, we’ll look for a gallery
- We will then look for other images attached to your post
- If you use an image that’s not hosted on your site, we’ll use it
- Did you add a Blavatar to your site? If so, we will use this image
- Finally, if you didn’t use any of these images, Publicize will fall back to your Gravatar Profile image.

Thank you Jerry. Here is the draft. I tried posting it on FB but it only showed the picture on the top of my blog homepage (yellow chick).

can I select a feature image for each one of my posts? I never knew I could do that. How do I select it?

You mentioned a draft, but your post appears to be published. Did you somehow try to share it before you published it, while it was still a draft?
This is what I see when I try to share it, now that it is live on your site: https://cloudup.com/cZK9pEIpEla
Thanks for the additional info!
