  My Facebook thumbnail contains a spelling error which is already corrected in the blog post. How do I get the thumbnail to use the edited version?

  Hi,

  The link below has information about “Facebook Image Thumbnails”
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-image-thumbnail/

  This is more relevant part for the problem you are facing..

  Changed an image, but Facebook doesn’t see it?

  Once a post or page has been shared on Facebook, the images have been stored in a cache on their server for future shares. Facebook doesn’t look at the page again for new images until their cache expires. This time period is unpredictable, but can be days or weeks. You can force Facebook to update its cache for your post/page by entering the link to the specific blog post you’re sharing into their Debug tool on this page:

  http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  After pasting your link into the box on that page, click the “Debug” button. Then, click the “Fetch new scrape information” button. You may need to click the “Fetch new scrape information” button twice. Then try sharing your post/page on Facebook again.

  Hope this helps.
