  Hi,

  I’ve had this problem a few times now and it’s driving me nuts. When I publish my post and it automatically posts it on my facebook page also, it picks up any photo from my post and not the feautured image. Any idea why that’s happening? Then I have to go through the hassle of deleting the post on my FB page and redoing it manually. This defeats the purpose of having it set up to post automatically and using the featured popst I had set up???

  Thank you, any help would be appreciated with this.
  Carmen…

  Please read these tips http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

  We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
