Jetpack publicize sjows no picture on Facebook

I have the same problem.

Same issue here. Featured image is set and there’s a gallery of 20 more images attached to the post but no image appears on Facebook.

Same Problem here too. Anyone able to help yet??

For anyone having trouble with Publicize images not appearing in Facebook, here is some information you can collect and post that will be helpful:

• Screenshot showing the problem
• HTML source of the image at Facebook
• Link to the post from your blog
• Link to the image from the blog post
• Link to an image from an image on FB you published manually and that IS working

As an example, I found this info for foxalert’s report:

• Screenshot on FB: https://f.cl.ly/items/342l322E1Z0j0y2N1K1L/Screen%20Shot%202012-11-30%20at%2010.17.16%20AM.png
• HTML for that image: <img class="img" src="https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQBr0EreOzEZ9SuT&w=155&h=114&url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-ssl.wordpress.com%2Fi%2Fvoid.gif" alt="">
• Blog post: https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/fc-twente-nieuws/promes-scoort-voor-de-eagles.html?fb_source=pubv1
• Direct image link from the blog post: https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/wp-content/themes/fctwentenu/timthumb.php?src=https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/fotos/2012/08/promes-eagles.jpg&h=250&w=250&zc=1
• Direct image link from a different post that appears to be working properly in FB: https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDH9sZYd6K3OBWf&w=155&h=114&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fctwente.nu%2Ffotos%2Ffotos%2F2012%2F01%2FJoshua-John.jpg

@foxalert, in your case, it looks like whatever auto-processing of thumbnail files you’re doing could be the source of the problem. Interestingly, if you open the image link used by FB for the “Promes scoort voor de Eagles” post, it works! It kind of looks to me like Facebook isn’t figuring out the image sizing because of the stuff like this at the end of the image link “&h=250&w=250&zc=1”. Can you try temporarily turning off whatever is adding that “&h=250&w=250&zc=1” stuff and try it again?

@foxalert, actually, can you reply back with an example of a post that you made on FB manually where the image worked? I just noticed the example I picked has a different image on your blog than the one showing in Facebook:

• Example post: https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/fc-twente-nieuws/joshua-john-wederom-belangerijk-voor-fc-nordsjaelland.html
• Image used in the post: https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/wp-content/themes/fctwentenu/timthumb.php?src=https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/fotos/2012/08/joahua-john-denemarken.jpg&h=250&w=250&zc=1
• Image used at FB: https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQDH9sZYd6K3OBWf&w=155&h=114&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fctwente.nu%2Ffotos%2Ffotos%2F2012%2F01%2FJoshua-John.jpg

Why are those images different?

How exactly does it work when you add a post manually on FB? Do you enter the image separately or does FB figure it out just based on a link like https://www.fctwente.nu/fotos/fc-twente-nieuws/joshua-john-wederom-belangerijk-voor-fc-nordsjaelland.html ?

Couple more questions:

• For the blank images, Is it possible you user added the image after hitting Publish?
• Can you try turning timthumb off and testing again?

Hi,

Maybe this will help. Here’s a screen capture of Facebook showing one of my post minus the image: https://www.bobransom.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Screen-Shot-2012-11-30-at-11.08.45-AM.png

Here’s the link Facebook is using to reach my blog: https://www.bobransom.com/blog/?p=2229&fb_source=pubv1

Here is the blog post itself: https://www.bobransom.com/blog/?p=2229

This blog post contains 26 images with one marked as “featured.” Images are roughly 800 x 533 pixels.

Thanks for looking into this…

@bobransom, thanks, this is close. The missing pieces are the actual image links. Can you right-click on the empty space in Facebook and copy the image URL or send the link to the Facebook page where I can see it? For the post itself, I checked it and it looks like the og:image picked is https://www.bobransom.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Thanksgiving2012__9570_800px.jpg which seems to match with the featured image at the top of the post.

P.S. I think Thanksgiving looks quite nice in B&W. ??

Oddly, when I click the empty space, I get exactly the same URL as for anywhere else in that Facebook box:

https://www.bobransom.com/blog/?p=2229&fb_source=pubv1

I’m not sure how to share the Facebook link with you without us being Facebook friends? My timeline may be publicly visible at: https://www.facebook.com/bob.ransom
…or maybe not. I can’t remember if I left that open or not.

Any fix yet for this??

I have the same issue, No image is shown on wither Facebook nor Twitter. Any hints?
Thanks

I retried this using Featured Image correctly and it worked. Problem solved.

@ designsimply

There is no automatic thumbnail processing.

I select a featured picture and he uses that one when i post a link on Facebook.

That’s why i dont understand why it doesnt show the picture.

How do you “correctly” use the featured image feature?

Sorry, I misspoke. It worked once, but on the next post it didn’t work. So I’m back to being as confused as ever.
