  I am trying to put this link on Face Book: http://whispersfromthefather.me/2013/11/24/give-thanks/

  what comes up on FB is my photo, not the photo of the church. In the past, the photo associated with the blog always showed up. Why not this time?

  (Note: I did add the photo after I created the blog post, but should that matter?)

  Thanks!
  Tina

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

  Have you connected your account to google+ ? This did the same for me but I’ve not had it long so I can’t be 100%.

  Also there’s an option to ‘Hide thumbnail’ on FB so no picture is shown, if you’re averse to having a photo of you :3 (like I was..!)

  I am having the same problem. Since Nov 8 the pic associated with my posts that I publicize on my FB page, is not the correct image. I have had a response from Eurello and it has something to do with changes made on the FB side of things, and we are now supposed to select a Featured Image for each post that FB will pull specifically. Here is the link: http:en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#settings-a-featured-image
  My problem is now–I don’t have the Featured Image module or the option in my Screen Options to even select a Featured Image……
  I am awaiting a reply to this latest issue I’m having…
  Good Luck!!

  I’m sorry but we cannot help with this correct image issue at this end. 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.
