Social media images

  I set a featured image for every new blog post I upload on my WordPress blog. However, the featured image is never what shows when I link to the post on social media. Instead, it shows the header image for the website as a whole, rather than the featured image specific to that post. I’m struggling to find how I can fix this.

  Hey @nicholaseustis, we’d be happy to take a look — can you send a link to your site?

  Also, note our setup is a bit different from a free copy of WordPress with another host: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  If you’re using your own copy of WordPress currently, you’ll likely need a plugin
  to control social media images. Then going forward, you’ll want to use the correct forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Sure thing! I do believe it is a .com account instead of .org. Here’s the link to my site:

  Hi there,

  Your site is not hosted by us (WordPress.com). It is using the open-source WordPress software and it is hosted by Bluehost. Therefore, you need to ask over at the WordPress.org forums:
