  I post photos on my blog http://helensphotomania.wordpress.com/ every day.( for enarly a year now) I also cut and paste each days link to my facebook page ( I prefer to do this at a time that suits me rather than have wordpress do it automatically when the post is published. – Long story but not relevant to this problem)
  For the last few days when I post the link on facebook the photo does not appear with the link which naturally I want it to do as people usually click on the photo link to get to the blog as it catches the eye.
  Anyone know why this is suddenly happening?
  Thanks
  Helen

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

  Unfortunately, we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include. From: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/avalaible-facebook-thumbnail-issue?replies=7#post-1000734
