Publicizing to Facebook
-
Auto posting to facebook is including random pictures that are not even from the same post that is is publicizing. The last one picked up a widget for someone else’s blog from my sidebar!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Yolanda – Could you please make a screenshot of the way these posts look on your Facebook page and upload it to your blog’s Media Library so I can look at it there? Here are instructions for how to make a screenshot: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/
Please also link me to the specific posts that have shown the wrong pictures on Facebook.

Hi Yolanda – Thank you for the details. That is odd! I checked the image we are sending to Facebook for those posts, and they are the correct images, so I don’t know why Facebook pulled that sidebar image. I ran your URL through Facebook’s debugger, which often clears up this sort of issue.
Can you please let me know if it still happens with your next posts? Also, if you want to exert the most control over which image is shown in Facebook, try setting that image as a featured image in addition to inserting it in your post. Instructions for how to set a featured image are here:
