  Hello everyone.
  When sharing the blog/blog posts on facebook, there are no thumbnails in the posts.

  Is there anyway to fix this?

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

  We can’t 100% control what FB displays but there are way to “encourage” it to share the right image.

  Post manually instead of using Publicize.

  Don’t schedule posts and scheduled FB posts. Post live and then share manually to FB.

  Set a Featured Image in each post even if your theme doesn’t use them.

  So the posts being shared would require an image in order for a thumbnail to appear?

  What about sharing the home page?

  If you just share the home page the blavatar/favicon may or may not show. FB sometimes changes the way it displays or doesn’t.

  If a post has no image, usually the FB post will have no image either.
