  I am trying to share my blog post to facebook. When I try to share the post, the featured image won’t appear. It’s blank. It has been happening for over a week now.

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

  Hi @pizzaandperrier,
  When you share a post on Facebook or Twitter etc, we only send the URL of that post, Facebook, Twitter and other social networks scans the page through that link for the excerpt and the images to display.

  So, we have no control over this. Read more about it here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

  Please make sure that your featured image is at-least 480 x 480px(in both width and height) and also

  Aspect ratio of width and height no greater than 3; in other words, the width can’t be more than three times more than the height, and vice versa.

  So that Facebook can pull your featured image when you share the post.

  Hope this helps :)
