Updated featured image not showing when sharing
-
Hi all,
I have updated a new featured image to a blog post several days ago, but when I share the post on social media, e.g. Facebook, only the old featured image will appear, even if I have deleted it from my media archive. Could someone please advise what do I need to do in order to have the updated featured image to show also when sharing? Thanks a lot in advance.
PS. To explain a bit more, the old featured image has a text that cuts in the middle when sharing, and therefore I’d really need it to be gone permanently… The post is for a charity event and would be super important to have this new image showing on shares. Here’s a link to this exact post: http://livenowdreamlater.net/2015/11/23/joulumieli-kuuluu-jokaiselle-rauman-joulukukkakerays/
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We have no control over the images that Twitter, 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.
