  So I’ve changed my featured image and when I go to share it in Facebook, it doesn’t show the image that I’ve chosen.

  It chooses another image that’s within the blog post.
  So then I erased that image and still doesn’t feature the image I’ve selected for my Facebook post.

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

  Know that we have no control over the images that Twitter, 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.
