  Hello. I have noticed when searching for my website via google or bing, I come across old photos that have been deleted from my page. How can I fix this?

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

  The search engines should automatically remove old content as they re-index your site after the content has been deleted. However, if you would like a specific item removed, you can request it be removed from Google here:

  Bing has a similar tool here:

  Thanks for the info.
  When I post (and it auto sends it to my facebook page) it has the incorrect picture. I have deleted all traces of said picture that I can find from my site…

  Hi there,

  Facebook saves details about your site and reuses them when you publish posts there. You can encourage Facebook to update those details with their debugger here:

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

  You can paste the link to your site (or one of your site’s posts) in the debugger there. Then, you can click the “Fetch new scrape information” button that appears. That tells Facebook to go get the most recent information about your site and update the details it has saved in its cache. (Otherwise, Facebook will continue to use old information it had saved in its system about your site.)

  I followed your instructions and it still displayed the incorrect pic on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ . When I click on the incorrect pic displayed at the debug address it gives me this address: http://0.gravatar.com/blavatar/27e76b5ae394f6ecef84c55f06038824?s 0&ts33363527 I have triple checked my gravatar info and that pic isn't listed there either….

  The picture that you’re seeing there is your site’s Blavatar (rather than your account’s Gravatar).

  You can change that picture under Settings > General in your site’s WP Admin dashboard, under “Blog Picture/Icon” there. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
