  My featured image does not show up when shared on Facebook.
  I checked the size and it’s plenty big. And it’s showing up just fine on my edit page in the “featured image” box, but when I try to share, it only gives me the options to chose my blogs headline photo, my gravatar photo or no photo. I also have lots of photos in the post – none of which come up when I share (they may be too small of files?). I’m using the Ever After theme.

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

  Hello ,
  I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. When using Publicize, we have no control over the images that Facebook 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.

  Hi, thanks for the reply. I was not using the publicize feature – just the share button on the bottom of the page. Or even copy/paste of the link to Facebook. None of them work. Definitely not the Publicize feature though. I will check your links as well.
