# Website thumbnail/featured image missing

 * Hi
 * I just transferred from wordpress.com to .org and have found whenever I share
   my website (just the site name, not a specific post) there is no thumbnail that
   displays with it. i.e. if I post [http://www.thetoleranttable.com](http://www.thetoleranttable.com)
   in a FB post, no featured image shows alongside my website name, but if I am 
   posting my most recent article, the featured image chosen for that article shows
   up no problem. Can you set a featured image for the whole site?
 * Any assistance much appreciated.

 * I think I may have just answered my own question. Not exactly a static image 
   but if you put the s after the http, so [https://thetoleranttable.com](https://thetoleranttable.com)
   an image appears. It won’t appear with just the http:// …. interesting! Open 
   to any other feedback though. Thank you

 * Hello!
 * A. First of all, you shouldn’t use both HTTP and HTTPS for your website. It creates
   a duplicate, it’s not secure, and it’s also not good for search engine optimization.
 * In order to correct that and only serve your site through HTTPS, you need to 
   do the following:
 * 1. Do what it says here: [https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/web-publishing/https-for-wordpress/#implementing-https-for-wordpress](https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/web-publishing/https-for-wordpress/#implementing-https-for-wordpress).
   Ignore the advanced parts.
 * 2.Then you need to perform a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. I saw you’re hosted
   on SiteGround, therefore you need to paste the first code pointed out here: [https://www.siteground.com/kb/how-to-force-ssl-with-htaccess/](https://www.siteground.com/kb/how-to-force-ssl-with-htaccess/)
   in your .htaccess file, just above the `# BEGIN WordPress` line. Save the file.
 * Here’s how to access the file through SiteGround’s cPanel: [https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/file_manager.htm](https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/file_manager.htm).
   Make sure you check _Show hidden files (dotfiles)_. Once you’ve entered the File
   Manager, the .htaccess file is found in the `/public_html/` folder.
 * **Please perform a backup before doing this**. You could also contact SiteGround
   support to add the code for you, if you don’t manage. They’re pretty helpful.
 * B. I noticed you’re using Yoast and Open Graph is enabled.
 * If you want to set a specific image for your Homapage that you want Facebook 
   to grab, then access your Homepage in Pages, scroll down to Yoast’s meta box,
   and click on the Share icon under the Traffic Lights icon. Then Upload an image
   for the Facebook Image field.
 * After that, clear your cache, if you’re using any caching plugins, then go here:
   [https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/),
   insert your homepage URL and press Debug. If the image doesn’t appear, press 
   the Scrape Again button several times.
