Copying and displaying my post
-
For four years I’ve been copying the link to a post in Facebook and other places and it’s worked fine. By that I mean it displays the image I’ve included in my post. Today I noticed something has changed. When I paste the post into FB now, my header shows. I do not want that. It defeats the purpose because people have seen that over and over. They want to see what I’ve included in that days’ post. I’ve tried copying the URL post link and also the short link but both are displaying my header rather than the image I have in my post.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks 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.

Sometimes these help and sometimes they don’t

Thanks timethief. I’ll look into sharing it from word press instead of copying and pasting the URL.
