    Hi, I’ve been reading and rereading the support forums, but i’m a novice and I need some help. When I copy and past a post url to Facebook, it does not display the correct image and sometimes it does not display the correct page text. I installed the Facebook Featured Image and Open Graph Meta Tags plug-in and see no difference. Thank you for your help.

    Facebook often caches the images from the first time you pasted it there. Try some of the tricks on this page to clear FB;s cache / specify a featured image:

    Gwyn, thank you so much for this. I did follow the link, read the article and attempt to use the debugger, which is a very insightful thing! I got in over my non-technical head for a while, but a friend helped me out.

    Now the pages & posts display correctly, except for the share image when posting the link in the comments sections on Facebook. The debugger mentioned that the og: image is not the right size so I will try to fix that. If you know where I would find the setting for that, it would help me out.

    Thank you!
