    I logged in today to create a new post and was advised to update my WP to the newest version. I did this and went about my normal routine of uploading and posting. I then went to facebook to post a link to my most recent blog post and no images show. At first it was only the eigth image (two landscape photos side by side) which I had set as my featured image. I tried several different ways of troubleshooting that issue but with it still not working I took down my post and re-uploaded everything ... now no images will show. I have tried changing the facebook/media option to choosing your own picture vs using the featured image which didn't help. I tried using links to my older posts which were done before I updated today and they work fine.

    I am trying to link to the little berkley post directly using

    http://www.amiekindallphotography.com/index.php/little-berkley/

    If I try linking to the homepage it provides each photo except the featured image photo along with my bio pic, rss icon, fb icon, ect.

    I'm not sure what the issue might be but was hoping someone might be able to help!

    Thank you,
    Amie

    amiekindall,

    Just to be sure, you did read this before updating: http://wordpress.org/news/2011/07/are-you-ready-for-wordpress-3-2/

    As of 3.2, you’ll need to be running PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0. As we mentioned almost a year ago when we announced that this change was coming, the percentage of people running older versions of PHP and MySQL is relatively low. With more than 45 million people using WordPress, though, even a small percentage can mean a lot of people! Don’t caught with your pants dashboard down — make sure you’re running compatible versions of PHP and MySQL before you update tomorrow when WordPress 3.2 is released.

    Log in to your hosting account, and check to make sure you have at least PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0. Most of the major hosts already default to these or newer versions, but there are some exceptions. Check to see which versions you are running, and if you’re still on an older version, it should be as simple as changing a dropdown menu and clicking Save to get up to date.

    If you don’t know how to find this information in your hosting account or you don’t even know how to access your hosting control panel because someone else manages that for you, don’t fret. You can find out if you’re ready for 3.2 with the Health Check plugin. In your dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New and search for “health check” (it should be the first result). Install it, activate it, and it will tell you if you need to update anything.

    Thanks, I did check and everything is up to date. I even saw a few other posts with widget issues ect. and tried some of the things they suggested that seemed to work for them but still no luck ...
