And now I no longer get the error but get this instead:
fb:app_id hasn’t been included in the meta tags. Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog. Otherwise, the default app id( 966242223397117 ) will be assigned.
The featured image is not displayed, the default one shows instead.
And now when I use the debugger, the feature image displays but when I actually test the Facebook share, the default image displays.

Hey thistleandvine – just got back from vaca so I’m catching up here…
Problem 1. the app_id thing. You don’t need both the App ID and the Admin ID – unless you specifically want the Insights connected with your Facebook App you don’t need it. It seems to be the wrong ID anyways so I’d suggest just removing it from the plugin settings and using Insights as your personal FB ID. If you’d rather use your FB App then remove the Admin ID and fix the App ID.
Problem 2. image selection. The release of the plugin that’s on the WP plugin repo is older. While still functional, Facebook changed some things in how they select an image to display. The plugin pulls all possible images from the post/page content as well as the image from the settings, if included. FB used to choose the one at the top of the array (or bottom – can’t remember now) and I had made my array of images work to that – then they changed it. They used to have an image select arrow display to select the image and they removed that feature a while ago. Today actually I noticed they added it back?? so maybe they’re bringing that back? idk… thing is they change stuff constantly and there’s not much I can do about it; except one thing…
That said… in the new beta of this plugin I’ve been far more specific as to not give FB a choice anymore… I have to finish testing that plugin… I’ve not had a lot of time recently due to client work etc. That will be finalized soon(ish).
