    Looks like this was a Facebook problem. Even though I set it up correctly, Facebook was still showing some kind of error. Here’s what I did that worked:

    I loaded the Facebook object debugger at this URL: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and gave it the URL of my blog posting.

    It showed that the og:image tag was correct but it claimed that there was an error so it was serving up a the default image.

    I clicked on “Fetch new scrape information” which caused it to refresh itself.

    Then it worked correctly.

    It appears that I have the identical problem. I am trying to set up a new site on a self hosted version of WordPress and I can’t get the featured image to display in Facebook.

    A sample blog page is: http://wp.virtualtrainer.ca/2015/05/13/fourth-test-post/ and on this page there is a Jetpack generated tag that I believe is correct. It is:

    <meta property="og:image" content="http://wp.virtualtrainer.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/mp3featured.jpg" />

    When I paste the URL of this blog entry into Facebook, it chooses a different image (a cropped version of the header). I would appreciate a suggestion on how to fix this.
