Facebook preview image incorrect

    My test page is: https://iglesiabautistaesperanza.org/?p=107

    I have an og:image tag set in the header as you can see by viewing the code. When I open this image it is the right image (Iglesia Bautista Esperanza on a transparent background). However, whenever I try to use the SHARE button it pulls in some other random logo file which has the name twice on an orange background. The Facebook debugger shows the same incorrect image, although it also shows the og:image tag as being the only tag and with the correct link.

    I’m baffled. Any help is appreciated!

    Same problem here. Any ideas how to fix it?

    I apparently had one main problem. I was using a .GIF as the header, with a transparent background. Facebook doesn’t like that. I changed it to a .PNG file and that *almost* fixed it.

    The next thing I had to do was use the Facebook ograph tester to evaluate the page again and force it to do a new scrape, since the old image was still in Facebook’s cache.

    After doing both of those, it started working correctly.
