    I see that you do have a blavatar and would like to direct you to the support documentation. Do be aware that we have no control over Facebook image selection.

    Troubleshooting
    Static pages will not be publicized.
    After connecting/re-connecting the services, you will need to publish a new post in order to publicize it.
    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.
