    Hi there Tim.

    Few things going on here…

    1. RE: the locale – it’s spitting out “en” which is weird. If you go to your admin panel and to “Settings” > “General” and scroll to the bottom. What is selected in your “Site Language” dropdown? It should be “English (Canada)”. If it’s not change it to that. If it isn’t… what is selected?

    2. RE: Image size of featured image. FB’s rules say images must be at least 600 x 315. They will get picky about that extra 15px of height missing. If you changed those to at least meet those guidelines it’ll help. I have a list of the proper sizes here: https://github.com/chuckreynolds/social-profile-image-sizes

    3. RE: Images found and put into source by the plugin. Right now the 2.0.12 version built all images (feat img, content imgs, & default img) into a list… that’s how Facebook used to want them. Recently FB changed (multiple times) how they pull those which got me rethinking on how to rebuild that. I have the next major version in a final beta state, which should release soon with some more testing, and it handles the images differently. In your case here it sounds like it will benefit you perfectly. Currently when you post you should be able to cycle through the images on FB in order to pick the one you want.
