  When I want to post to Facebook, someone/thing picks what picture to share. I don’t want a specific one so I deleted it from my post but it still shows up as the picture that will be posted. Help!!!

  Hi there,

  Facebook would have cached that picture on their end the first time the link was shared. So now every time you share the link again, Facebook just re-uses the information they already have cached.

  To stop this, you need to clear the cache on Facebook’s end. You can do that by pasting the post link in their sharing debugger, click Debug, and then click Scrape Again on the next page:

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

  You can find more information about the images Facebook use here:
