 * On facebook Social is not publishing the image seen in the preview of the broadcast
   page, in my case also a featured image, but another image published in the same
   post (in my case a related post image).
    It worked in the previous version although
   I couldn’t see any likes or comments from facebook.

 * Same problem here!
    I only have a featured image with the post and the thumbnail
   that is shown on Facebook isn’t even on the same post on my site.
 * Maybe the thumbnail shown in Facebook was taken from de sidebar plugin recent/
   popular/random ?

 * I have the same problem. The images send to facebook seems to be a random image
   from the page, regardless of if I set a featured image or not.

 * Social sends an image, but Facebook often decides to use it’s own choice. I recommend
   installing a plugin that sets Open Graph tags.

 * Well, but if I post manually, Facebook fetches the right image 9 out of 10 times.
   So posting via Social is not a viable alternative at this time, especially if
   i have to fiddle and configure yet another plugin for it to work.

 * I had it once before, many months ago, and fixed it, but I do not remember how
   for the life of me. It was a simple mistake one of my writers had made, and when
   I fixed it, I had the “AHA” moment. Now however, it is driving me insane and 
   I cannot remember how to fix it.
 * In short…. HELP!

 * It’s too bad, this plugin’s concept is wonderful, but for now I agree with xanathon.

   Will you try to fix that please? For example, sosme plugin such as Network Publisher
   choose the good image 😉

 * As a follow up, I installed the WP Facebook Open Graph Protocol plugin and the
   correct image was inserted on fb by Social.

    I have installed the plugin, but haven’t tested it
   yet.

 * I just installed the WP Facebook Open Graph Protocol plugin, and it worked on
   the one post I tested, pulling in the correct image.
