How can I ensure that a photo from my blog populates when it posts to facebook?
-
I have my facebook page linked to my blog. When I post a blog and it posts to facebook, it pulls just part of profile photo instead of a photo from the blog. How can I change that so it pulls a photo from the blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
The easiest way to have the correct photo shared when you share your post to Facebook is by setting the Featured Image. Otherwise, Facebook will automatically pull an image from somewhere else on your page.
Another reason that your header image was shared instead of the post image is that the post image was relatively small (270×186). Your header photo is much larger. Facebook normally only selects images that are 200×200.
Can you try adjusting those two elements in the future and see if a better image is selected?
Also, you can read a bit more on the images selected with the Publicize feature here:
