Posting to FB
-
I’ve posted on FB from this blog already this week, and I’ve posted from other WP blogs today, but this particular post won’t share on FB with a thumbnail, title and description, and I can’t find any way around it. As it is a Solstice post, I’d like to be able to share it in this way.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m having a similar problem, where my thumbnails will not post with the link when I share on facebook http://dodyfit.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/jackies-lost-21-lbs/
Anyone know how to get the thumbnail to show with the shared link?? -
We have not control over what Facebook displays or how frequently they flush their image caches. This is what we do know but it’s subject to change, as always:
- 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.

Unfortunately, for this particular post of mine, FB won’t pick up the title or the images or anything but the URL.
THis means I can’t properly press it on FB in my own feed and in comments on others.
It will do any other post, just not this one. Any way around that you know of? -
You can post manually to your Facebook page and I’m sorry but that’s the only helpful suggestion I have.

Alternatively you can use Networked Blogs http://www.networkedblogs.com/ or RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer.
RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify.
You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

Well, that’s the thing, it’s happening when I post manually, and only with this particular post. http://2owlscalling.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/the-deva-in-the-darkness/
It won’t post anything (beyond the url), not even its title. Even days later.

Try this: http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/ another poster did and it solved the problem.
