  I recently linked our website to our Facebook page using the Publicize feature. When I make a new post, with an image, a totally different, unrelated image from the website appears on the Facebook post, instead of the one that is on the post itself, on the WordPress site. How to I make sure that the image on the post is the one that shows up on the Facebook version of the post?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  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.

  Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
