Social image doesn't show up for main pages
When I link to my home page or main subpages (watch, listen, etc) on social media, the thumbnail image that I've set for social doesn't show up. It works for all the pages that are not part of the navigation bar, but not for these main ones. I tried swapping the image out with the same image I've used on pages whose images do show up - in case it was an image size issue or something - but that still doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? My site is fikalam.com. Thanks.

Hi @NoraK. Any time you change an email and you've already shared it you'll want to have Facebook scrape the URL again. You can use the Facebook debugger to do this. Facebook caches images used with shares for better performance, so it's not uncommon to need to do this.

Thanks for the quick reply. The issue isn't with Facebook, it's with Twitter and Linkedin. When I create a new tweet with the link or try to add the link to a linkedin page, I run into the issue of the thumbnail image not showing up for the link.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. LinkedIn has their own method to clear their social post cache. For Twitter you can use the card validator to update their cache.
