    Picture thumbnail when posting new links on Facebook

    Hi All,

    You know how when you post a link on Facebook, there's an automatic thumbnail that comes up with a picture?

    Well, for some reason that doesn't work for me anymore when I post links to new articles I release via my poker blog site. No idea what on earth happened or why it doesn't work "correctly" anymore (I tried of links to regular sites, and it works no problem).

    My site runs on Wordpress with GoDaddy hosting.

    If anyone might be able to tell me where I could find the right settings to change (I imagine it's something pretty simple, just gotta know where to look), I would really appreciate it. Just a note, I'm not a "typical" webmaster, only rudimentary "backend" knowledge, so please be specific (e.g., Tools>Settings>abc) and don't just say (e.g., it's in your CSS code) cuz I have no idea what that means.

    Thanks in advance!

    I was having a similar problem but in my case the incorrect thumbnail was being posted to my Facebook page.

    I solved it by using a plugin called GD Press Tools.

    Once installed go to GD Press Tools >> Administration and under the Cached RSS Feeds heading select the Delete button. This will clear your RSS Feeds cache and hopefully solve your problem.

    Hope it works for you.

    I forgot to post the follow up - so I tried the previous plugin suggestion and it worked, but only one time, then the problem came back.

    Then, I installed the W3 Super Cache plug in- cleared up everything - no further problems...
