Posts shared from website don't show the Featured Image
-
When visitors or myself try to share a post from my website to a social media site, the Featured Image for that post does not show up. Instead it displays images from the website banner or from the left sidebar. Does anyone know how to fix this so that the Featured Image appears in Shares as it should?

Hi @ warpedspacesc
This was something that I learned awhile back that will help you better understand where those images are pulled from.

Hope that helps!

We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks 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.
