  Hi WP Support Team!

  I’m writing because my latest post won’t link properly on Facebook. For my other posts, I just copy-paste the URL and it will show up in the feed as a link with a thumbnail and description. (I just tested for a number of them, and it works.) For some reason, though, my latest (http://thenicolasblog.com/2014/07/07/nope-youre-still-not-a-failure/) doesn’t work. Any idea how to fix this?

  Thank you for you time!
  Nic

  Hey Nic!

  When I try to manually post the post you linked to on Facebook, here’s what I see on my side:

  

  It seems to be displaying the excerpt and the image correctly. Is this still not working on your side? Did you by chance add the featured image back in after you originally published the post? If so, Facebook will cache the original post (without the Featured Image) for a bit, which causes the post to appear differently. However, that should reset after awhile.

  Please let me know if you’re still having trouble!

  Thanks for the response!

  It worked for a moment earlier today, and now it’s back to not working. But only for that one post. Argh. Could this be a Facebook issue?

  Here’s what I get when I click the FB share button and/or paste the URL into my news feed for the post in question:

  All my other posts still work like normal; it’s just this one that’s weird.

  Thanks again for all your help!

  Hey Nic,

  This looks like it might be a Facebook caching issue on your side as the post is still working correctly for me. This should begin working correctly on its own without additional action on your part. It will just take some time for the Facebook cache to reset.

  That’s what I was thinking. Thanks again for your help!

  Not a problem! Let me know if it doesn’t start working soon.
