Why my new blog picture and short description is not showing on other sites
-
Hi,
I’ve changed my blog picture and the short description of my blog but, for example, when I paste “http://thehadzhiev.wordpress.com/” on Facebook, there’re still the old ones. I made these changes yesterday.Thanks for your time!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Based on some other posts here on the board, it could take a few days for the changes to take effect.

Okay but now I really do not understand. Right now in Google+ and LinkIn the new image and the short description are available and can be seen but in Facebook only the description is showing and the old image. Is this still normal?
-
Facebook has their own internal cache which we have no control over.
If the same link is shared, they just pull info from the cache.
The last time I checked, it seems like it took them a week to flush the cache, but in some cases having someone who is not a friend share the link seemed to refresh the cache. I can’t even begin to guess why that worked (it makes no sense), but it did in 4 out of my 5 tests.

macmanx, obviously the same goes for Twitter.
Up until now only Google+ has changed both – the image and the short description.If this is a temporary problem, I decided to go on with my new domain because, after all, I think that you’re right.

I’ve also tried to post my blog in Facebook through two different Facebook profiles but with no success…

Try reconnecting with Facebook following the complete procedure at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook

There’s more to it than that. You also need to delete the Facebook app.
Please follow the complete procedure, step-by-step: http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook

Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/
Then try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step. -

It’s still going to take some time for Facebook to clear their cache.
We really have no control over that. I had hoped that reconnecting would kick them in gear, but it appears the ball is now in Facebook’s court.
-
Okay, guys. I’ll keep you updated on the matter and I hope that it won’t take much longer for Facebook.
I didn’t cancel my new domain within the 48 h so I’m really looking forward to posting in Facebook my new articles because this is almost my only way of popularizing my blog.
Thanks for your time, macmanx, timethief and notawoodpecker! -

macmanx, could you check out the latest strange situation concerning Facebook. Could you share this: http://hadzhiev.com/ (not as a message but as a post) in your Facebook profile? You should really see this…
