resolved. see other thread

The plugin seems to have resolved the issue. Thank you.

You may need to set the “Featured Image” for the post which Publicize is publishing to facebook. If the image wasn’t uploaded to the post it may not be associated with the post.

Try posting a new post for which you have set a featured image (or uploaded the image directly to that image).

I have attempted to add the above line. I don’t really want to mess with the core theme files. I don’t know enough about code that as a general rule I don’t mess with them. Thus I have setup a child theme.

I have added the line in the code of the child theme as shown here. This is the only change I have made to the theme. The child theme other than being setup as one has made no changes to the original theme.

Hopefully I have done this correctly. When I do this I just get a blank page on the website. Similarly I wasn’t sure if it was because I was creating this functions.php file wrong I also attempted to add the line you suggested to the core file with the same result (a blank webpage). Thus I removed it from the core theme files.

<?php
/**
 * This is your child theme functions file.  In general, most PHP customizations should be placed within this
 * file.  Sometimes, you may have to overwrite a template file.  However, you should consult the theme
 * documentation and support forums before making a decision.  In most cases, what you want to accomplish
 * can be done from this file alone.  This isn't a foreign practice introduced by parent/child themes.  This is
 * how WordPress works.  By utilizing the functions.php file, you are both future-proofing your site and using
 * a general best practice for coding.
 *
 * All style/design changes should take place within your style.css file, not this one.
 *
 * The functions file can be your best friend or your worst enemy.  Always double-check your code to make
 * sure that you close everything that you open and that it works before uploading it to a live site.

I am noticing that there are a lot of threads with regards to the Publicize module recently. I am thinking that perhaps this issue may not have anything to do with my forced PHP upgrade but with the recent Jetpack update. The current version was updated 11-28, whereas my last blog post was on 11-24 and everything was working at that time. Between that time and now my blog underwent the forced PHP upgrade and I updated Jetpack. Considering the issues others are posting with regards to Publicize this may just be a Publicize issue.

Here is a link to the other thread for this issue.

I have further narrowed it down to being an issue with the featured image. Where I noted above that the issue did not occur when I created an identical post with an image previously used. Once I set the featured image for that post; the issue will occur. (As long as the “Publicize” and “Sharing” modules are activated, if deactivated the issue resolves)

Thank you for your assistance thus far. Much appreciated.

I have worked through deactivating the Jetpack Modules. I have narrowed the issue down to the “Sharing” and “Publicize” modules. If either of these two are Activated, then the issue occurs. If they are both deactivated the issue goes away.

I attempted to comment on each of the theme features. A few caused the theme to not function at all, others made no difference with the issue. I will see about doing the same with jetpack.

A few things I have noticed. The issue only occurs on posts where I have uploaded the image using the media upload for that post and that is the only post with the image. Or also it will occur if I upload and image to the image library, it will occur on the post where I use the image the first time. If I insert that image into a second post the issue will not occur.

If I create a new image post, and insert in that post an image which has been uploaded elsewhere, the issue does not occur. Therefore the two posts are essentially identical. The only difference is that in one I uploaded the image to that post and the image is therefore “linked” to that post somehow, it occurs on the post it is linked to. but does not occur on the second post which is identical otherwise.

For example: The first place I use this image HERE the issue occurs. The second time I use that image HERE. The issue does not occur. The two posts are identical otherwise.

The issue does not occur on posts which only contain a gallery.

I also completely deleted jetpack via FTP so that all of it’s files were removed, and did a clean re-install of Jetpack. Once I reinstalled jetpack the problem returned. When Jetpack is no activated there is not issue. These are clean installs of both the theme and the plugin. Zero alterations.

The issue also occurs with my Test Site I just created on my network. There are no other plugins running on this test site. All I have done is create one post for which the issue occurs.

Thank you for your reply. I am baffled by the issue.

I then deleted the theme. I went so far as to delete all of the files via FTP client to ensure the entire theme folder was deleted from the server. I then did a fresh install of the theme via wordpress (Where I searched for the theme in wordpress and had it download and install the files directly from www.remarpro.com. The issue persisted.

I created another test site on my network to check if the issue would also occur there. At first the issue did not occur there when using the theme and Jetpack. However once I connected Jetpack to wordpress.com the issue also began to occur.

The issue does not occur with a default theme.

I have tried deactivating all the other plugins; it only occurs when the Jetpack plugin is activated.

I have deleted and re-installed both Jetpack and the Theme. The issue persists. The issue does not occur with a default theme.
