    Michmorgan01,
    If this is the gray man you are seeing, that is the avatar for comments users. Facebook automatically scrapes the page for images. If you have multiple images on your page, you should be able to click through them on Facebook and select which image to share. If you can provide a URL for us to test we can make sure that is the problem. You can either reply here with a URL or email us at [email protected].

    HI,
    I put it through the facebook debugger and got Object Debugger returns: “Error parsing input URL, no data was scrape”. It could be the theme I am using. The picture comes up on 2 blog posts but the 2 most recent i get the grey man. It might be the theme I am using. I set featured image and set the image in the top of the post. I have done a display:none on the main featured image because it looks pixelated.

    Michmorgan01,

    Thank you very much for the URL. That was extremely helpful. After looking at your site, we discovered that your og:image meta tag is set to the gray man picture. og:image is the Open graph image that a majority of social media outlets use to determine the main image to display when sharing. It seems that your theme or another plugin is causing this issue. If you change your og:image meta tag, scrapers will be able to get the correct image. I hope this information is helpful!
