Sometimes the text it finds is just as random as the images.

Unfortunately, Facebook has a list of requirements that it looks for when selecting the thumbnail, and these requirements change rather frequently.

Honestly, I recommend not worrying about it. Sometimes you'll get a thumbnail, and sometimes you won't. It's entirely up to Facebook.

When I publish a new post and wordpress automatically shares it on my Facebook feed, the image I use in the post never accompanies it onto facebook. The same thing happens when I try to manually paste the url on FB — it just creates a link, but without the thumbnail. I know I must be doing something wrong — or have some setting switch flipped incorrectly, b/c when others share a wordpress post of mine on FB, I do see the picture.

Any advice?
