    Im sharing a post on facebook from wordpress but it isn’t pulling images from THAT post, instead it is only giving me options of old images I have used on my blog in the past.

    How do I select the current image to show up on my facebook profile along with the link?

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

    We have no control over which images Facebook chooses to display and we have no control over how long it takes for the image caches at Facebook to be flushed. What follows may ot may not be where they are at today:
    Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
    To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.
