# Featured Image “Replace Image” button is gone?

 * When I’m editing a post (WP install 5.5.3), my Featured Image panel no longer
   shows the “Replace Image” button. There’s a little “×” in the upper right of 
   the image, but it does nothing in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. This is a recent
   development. This is the URL that appears when I hover over the ×:
 * [mysite]/wp-admin/post.php?post=6847&action=edit&wd_fb_og_status=-2&wd_fb_og_error
   =Facebook+returned%3A+%28%23100%29+Must+have+a+valid+access+token+or+a+valid+
   url_hmac#
 * I’ve deactivated both of my social/open graph-related plugins, and that × is 
   still showing up. I don’t know what an “access token” is, or what may have changed
   such that I can no longer edit my featured images. Google has shed zero light
   on this situation.
 * Any ideas?

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
 * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
