    Yes, same here my issue is exactly the same as several others mentioned. and this started 2 days ago for me. Was working fine until then. I am getting the correct image on auto-share (using SNAP), this only affects the manual post sharing. I use the native Ultimatum Social Share for that. The correct image even shows on the share box, but when it appears on FB, a different image appears. On one of my sites it was a default image. I deleted that default image and the problem persists. On the other site it is my site logo.

    First issue I see is you’re using a Page ID instead of a personal FB ID in the settings.
    If you put your domain into FB’s Debugger you get this response:
    “Object at URL ‘https://auburnmassdaily.com/’ of type ‘website’ is invalid because the given value ‘547716265288586’ for property ‘fb:admins’ could not be parsed as type ‘fbid’.”

    On your home page you haven’t specified a fallback image in settings so FB just pulls your logo.

    Taking a single post for reference: auburnmassdaily.com/2015/05/18/lacrosse-to-debut-at-ahs-spring-2016/
    FB still throws that warning, obviously, but pulls the image of the guy running with the stick and shows info just fine.

    You need to fix that ID problem in the plugin settings per the instructions in the plugin and then use the debugger as the instructions also mention.

    Now… with all that said.. sometimes the debugger will show one thing and when you post a link to your wall it will show something else. That’s a very common issue with Facebook that they don’t seem to care to fix. So. Nothing I can do about it.

    But it looks like you’re in good shape – just need to update that ID and you’re fine.

    Ok I will check on that. Thank you. Though I have not been having trouble of late. I know what you mean about FB changing all the time, so it’s hard to know when something’s not working, or it is working, or I just got lucky lol

    yeah… trust me i know… FB changes stuff ALL THE TIME lol. I get so many support tickets because of it. I’ll do what I can to help but most times it’s them messing with stuff.

    Cheers bud!
