  Good Morning –

  We can help you with that. Are you sharing the overall site URL or a post URL. Do you mind sharing it with me here so I can take a closer look?

  Hi there!

  Thank you for the details. I see that the social media are picking up an image from a post instead of the homepage featured image: https://socialsharepreview.com/?url=https://achieversresourcesolutions.wordpress.com/.
  
  You can read here about how Facebook (as an example) pics the image. I think that you may have added the featured image later than the post one and the post one was cached on their servers. You will want to wait up to several weeks until they update it.

  Another thing that could help is adjusting the image size to the recommended one: 1200 x 630 px.
