Picture not appearing when I try to share on facebook
-
When I try to share my latest post on facebook, the picture does not appear. It’s just greyed out with that kind of outline of a mountain as a stock image. If I try to share any older posts, they work fine. I have tried tried several different images on the new post, and the same for every one. I’ve also deleted and rue-loaded the image, and deleted and rewritten posted the blog several times, and the same problem occurs every time. What’s wrong with it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It should be good now if you share the post.
What I did was paste your most recent post’s link into Facebook’s debugger at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdomsgone.wordpress.com%2F2018%2F06%2F13%2Fdirty-loudy-and-crowdy%2F, and then I told it to scrape your site again. I had to do it a few times, as it first gave an error, but eventually it updated the preview to show the image from your latest post.
Sometimes the preview Facebook has for an older post on your site becomes stuck in their cache, and then it shows the wrong image for the new post you’re trying to share. If that happens, you can just paste the link into that debugger and rescrape it. That forces Facebook to clear their cache and check your link for the correct information.
