Social media sharing not using pictures
-
When I post to my blog and add multiple pictures to the post once I try to share via Facebook, Google+ or Yummly it just shoes a blank gravatar. I’ve tried the debug button for Facebook but it still pulls no pictures from my website. I’m lost on what to do here. Twitter seems to work ok when it posts for me, but other than that no pictures are pulling when I share on other social media sites.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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.

Well that’s odd then because it just only started happening when I started including more than one picture in my posts.

I have the same problem with my blog post:

I used the debug tool for Facebook and after half an hour I finally managed to get 1 of my pictures as a thumbnail, but for LinkedIn I really can´t solve this problem.
I never had this problem before with the post I wanted to share on social media, so I don´t understand why now suddenly it doesn´t work…

Your issue is a common one. Sorry if the debugger does not help but
