 * My posts with a photo in WordPress look fine on my web site, [http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com ](http://www.pacificcascaderailway.com/)
   but when they get transferred to my faceBook page the only picture that shows
   up is the background map photo. The background map is a nice photo but not the
   one described in the post. If I remember right, when I first started using WordPress
   it moved the correct post photo with the post to my FaceBook page, but something
   changed and I can’t figure out what to change back. Any suggestions or links 
   to articles about moving WordPress posts into social media will be greatly appreciated.
   Thanks for your time.

 * Alright,
 * Did you set up featured images for each of those posts? Are you using the core
   Featured images or something else like a custom form? Facebook OG always look
   for the feature image to create the “Preview” of any given site.

 * First, thanks for responding and please forgive my ignorance about WordPress.
   I see under “Add new post” the pane “Featured Image” and the Set Featured Image
   link to my Media Library. However I don’t think I ever indicated a featured image.
   I did use the image of the railroad map of Washington state as the header and
   page background, which may have given it a priority of sorts. I’m not sure what
   the “core Featured images” are and I don’t use any custom forms. When adding 
   a new post I just insert a newly loaded image into the post which works fine 
   on the web site. Do I need to designate a featured image each time I want an 
   image in a post and how do I designate its location in the post? I’ll give it
   a try and see what happens. Is there a text somewhere on using the featured image
   tag? Thanks for your help.

 * If you use the featured image, Facebook should use that as a website preview.
   Are you by any chance using a SEO plugin?

 * Yes I am using the SEO plug in. Does SEO have something to do with my sending
   pictures to FaceBook?
    I have tried using the Featured Image selection. The image
   shows up in my web site but still does not show up in FaceBook, only the header
   image. I think I do not know exactly how to use the Featured Image selection.
   When editing the post description the Featured Image does not show in the edit
   box. If I add the image in the edit box then it shows up twice in my web site
   post, but still not in FaceBook. I’m at a loss. Suggestions please. Capt. Brigg
