  My featured image on this blog post (https://fvtcsusan.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/national-education-priorities-could-hold-promise-for-major-local-impact/) is not sharing to Facebook or LinkedIn. Previous blog posts on the same blog have had no issues with images sharing to these sites.

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

  HI there,

  Please note that Facebook requires that images be larger than 200 by 200 px as seen here:

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

  Please put in the link to your post:

  https://fvtcsusan.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/national-education-priorities-could-hold-promise-for-major-local-impact/

  It states the following:

  Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that’s at least 200x200px

  Try choosing a featured image that is larger than 200 by 200 px and then re-enter the post in Facebook’s Object Debugger. It will clear out the cache and update the share. Please note that this will not change shares retroactively. You will have to reshare the post.

  Cheers!

  Thank you for the feedback. It looks like the image is now working when shared on Facebook.

  The image is still not sharing on LinkedIn. Any idea why it might not be displaying there?

  As seen here:

  It looks like LinkedIn clears their cache on a weekly basis, so try resharing your post on Linkedin in about a week to see if it updated.
