  Attempting to resolve this issue again, as WordPress staff has evidently given up. Does anybody know how to get the featured image of a post to publish on FB instead of our header? When we publish automatically or copy and paste the link, we’re still getting our header. Please see https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-St-James-Project/481144465331738 and our blog: stjamesproject.org.

  Thanks for any suggestions!

  Hey Tobias,

  I really apologize. I just saw your other reply. I’m not sure why I wasn’t notified of your response. I’m going to reply here:

  Thanks, Jeremy. Timethief replied to a public post I made. I’m not sure anything can be done on this end. The problem is that FB is not recognizing my featured images to be at least 200 x 200, which they are. This wasn’t initially an issue, but for whatever reason it became one over time. For now, I’m not going to publicize straight to FB, but will manually post in the debug tool…which will probably tell me that they’ll pull my header instead…so I doubt that will help either. I’ll also try uploading the featured image first into my queue before setting it into my article…kind of doubt that will work, but I have to try something.
