  On our blog, it used to be that when a new post went up, on Facebook (where we have integrated sharing on our Facebook page),the image associated to the blog post would be the post author’s gravatar/picture.

  Then one day, it stopped showing the author’s picture and only started showing the blogs default/banner graphic.

  See our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heritage-Behavioral-Health-Consultants/158292934204314 to see when this started. I have no idea how to fix this.

  Thanks,

  Tim

  Unfortunately, we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
