  Hi – when I used to post a link to my blog on facebook, a picture would come up. Now it is just a blank box…doesn’t look very good. Can you please tell me how to get the picture back? Thank you!

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

  Hi,

  This is usually due to the featured image or uploaded image not meeting Facebook’s size requirements, which are:

  ° At least 200×200 pixels in both width and height
  ° 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.

  If your image is meeting Facebook’s size requirements, you should try
  the Facebook debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

  You can force Facebook to update its cache for your post/page by entering the link to the specific blog post you’re sharing into their Debug tool.

  After pasting your link into the box on that page, click the “Debug” button. Then, click the “Scrape Again” button that appears beneath the Warnings section.

  You may need to click the “Scrape Again” button twice. Once the debug tool shows the updated images and information on your post or page, try sharing it on Facebook again.

  Happy blogging!
