    Hi I’ve just started wordpress blog and have my facebook page linked to updates. It’s updating ok, but no image is showing on my facebook page. People are unlikely to look at the update if there is no image, so it is kind of the whole point.
    Any help in this?

    Unfortunately we have no control over how long it takes for the image caches at Gravatar and at Facebook to be flushed. We also have not control over which images Facebook chooses to display and they make changes frequently. What follows may ot may not be where they are at today:
    Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
    To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.
