  Hello ,
  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.

  Re: Facebook
  Sometimes these help and sometimes they don’t

  Also in your case , When I checked Personally , the first Post is not showing the Image ,so just check in that with respect to the information we provided above , but for the posts below it sharing and image appearing works properly.

  Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any further information, would be happy to help..! :)

  When I share a link to the entire site, I get a blank white square next to it instead of an image.

  That is the problem.

  I know how to change the default image for each individual post.

  What I can’t figure out is how to change the site image.

  That seems to be called the Default Facebook Thumb.

  I can see a spot for it in Settings, but no way to change it.

  I followed those directions, which read:

  “You can upload a custom site icon by going to My Site → Settings, and in the General tab, click on the Change button”

  and there is no “site profile” to go to.
