  Hi!

  In order to post specific articles to your social media accounts, make sure that your blog is connected to those social media accounts through Publicize in your sharing settings, see here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

  Whenever you want to post an article to Facebook for example, once you are connected, you will be able to specify that before you publish your article

  Just to clarify – gregariousbadger, enquetedesoimaime was asking about the sharing thumbnail on social media, not how to connect her social-media accounts. :)

  enquetedesoimaime – as timethief mentioned in the other thread you posted in, the Facebook debugger is a helpful tool for understanding why thumbnail images are not being used when sharing. Clicking the “Scrape again” button often solves the issue for a post.

  I checked this post – https://enquetedesoimaime.wordpress.com/2017/09/11/mon-histoire-seconde-partie-lespoir-renait/ – in the tool and it looks like the thumbnail is being picked up correctly.

  If you’re still having trouble with any posts after using the debugger, please provide a link to the specific post(s) so I can take a look.
