  Hi There!

  I am having trouble with Facebook correctly displaying my bandcamp embeds. May you please advise if I am doing something incorrectly?
  Here is a link to my website

  Hey there!

  Thanks for the question — and the screenshots that illustrate your issue. You just helped us skip a step :)

  On Facebook, the publicized thumbnail from your WordPress.com post can only be an image. If you’d like to choose the image that will show up as your thumbnail, this will help:

  Non-image media files won’t display as an embed on Facebook through Publicize.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
