    Hello,
    I would like to report that Photon and Watermark plugin are not fully compatible. Watermark modifies media to add a watermark, when it does that on draft scheduled posts when they are published by Publicize Facebook doesn’t get the right image. After deleting and manually publishing the post on Facebook everything works and the image is correct. Therefore it is not an Opengraph tag problem but an image cache problem.

    If you disable Photon everything works.

    That’s indeed to be expected with Photon. Photon caches and serves the original image, and will ignore all resized and modified versions of the image, including the version that was created by your watermark plugin.

    I’m afraid there is no way to work around this. I can only suggest that you leave Photon off on that site, or that you add the watermarks to your images locally, before the upload. Unfortunately, I realize that can mean some extra work in some cases so it might not be the best option for you.
