How do I change default image when sharing to Facebook?

    When I post my website URL to Facebook it shows one of the default images with some dummy text as the preview. I have tracked the text and image to the defualt ‘home’ page (which I have deleted) but it still shows that. Even when I change the header image on the old home page it won’t override.

    I have made my actual default page my portfolio page and would like to set my default photo for the site to something custom.

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

    Facebook caches things, and at times it seems there is no rhyme or reason as to what they pull off of a post or page.

    You can use the Facebook Developer Debugger to clear things: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ .

    Add the URL of the page you wish to check and click Debug. In the When and how we last scraped the URL section at the top you will find a “scrape again” button. Click that and FB will go out and re-scrape that page. It can sometimes take a few minutes to even an hour for the new information to show up depending on how busy their servers are.
