Facebook/YouTube problem.

    When I used to post a WordPress page of my blog onto Facebook, it would display an image of my blog and then of course people could easily click on that to go to that said page. Now, when I post a link to a page on Facebook, it immediately uses the YouTube video so that people can just watch the video without being directed to my WordPress page. This never used to happen before. It defeats the purpose of trying to connect people with my WordPress page though. Is there a way to fix this?

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

    Thanks for letting us know. Our team is working on improving the Publicize features, and right now if you embed a video in your blog posts Facebook will use that video when your post is shared on Facebook. If you prefer to select the image to go with your post, you may want to try sharing the post to Facebook manually, instead of using publicize.

    I’ll pass along your feedback to our developers to consider for future update. Also, don’t forget the ideas forum, where you can discuss your suggestions with the WordPress.com community: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas

    Thanks!
