How are you trying to share your content on Facebook, using the social share buttons within your website or going to Facebook and posting directly there?
I'm using the Social Share buttons. It works for my posts using featured image, but not for the pages.
It shouldn't make a difference between pages and posts. The two images attached below are content I just posted to my Facebook timeline from the social share buttons within my content. The top one is from a Page and the bottom one is from a Post.
What kind (name) of social share plugin are you using?
I am not familiar with Super Socializer, I will have to investigate. But it could be a setting within the plugin. Have you checked into seeing if the setting details are configured to your desire within the plugin itself?
Yes, so far it looks fine. That doesn't mean I haven't missed something. I'm going to back track and start from A and work my way through. Between All in One, WordPress and the social app, there has to be something I missed somewhere.
If I had to take an educated guess I would say that the problem is either with a setting in All in One or the plugin. I doubt WordPress would be the culprit...but anything is possible.
It's working Boomer! thank you so much for your help. I would sure like to help others who are faced with this problem, but I am not sure exactly how I did it LOL back and forth too many times gets me confused. Again, thank you so much for your help...your the best.

That is awesome Daniece! Sometimes all it takes is going back and doing something again. It is easy to get confused, especially when learning something new. Fortunately there is a lot of helpful people in this community and helpful resources.
I tried that. When I try to upload the image in the Social Meta Settings, nothing comes up. It shows up in my media library but it does not insert the url in to the space under Upload Image. Do I need to copy the image URL from the medial library and paste it in?
Where is the url coming from shown in the tutorial? he doesn't say copy and paste or how it gets inserted. If I do copy and past the image url from my medial library, I get a "wordpress error" message when I try to share. This is making me nuts.

When I use the Facebook Share icon on my site, it posts fine but there is no Image, just the default image. How can I add my site icon to the Facebook Share post?
Not yet, I still get the blank guy when I try to use the Facebook Share. What am I doing wrong? this is making me crazy
Okay, just a thought but when you set up your avatar....did you attach a pic to the email address you are using for your FB account?
Can you send me PM, me if you want, a screen shot please :-)) xoxox to you and yours
I USE MONOSNAP.com its free and safe :-))

I assume you are talking about a Facebook acct for my site? I don't have one yet. I am getting my image on the Google share. Do I need to have a Facebook acct for my website for this to work?
If you dont have a FB account how are you using the FB Button........i think i may have done somthing wrong....when anyone clicks on my FB button on my site it takes them to my FB PAGE :-)) have i done something wrong with mine.......
:-))

I don't think that is necessarily wrong. I wonder if Google tracks your traffic to the FB page? With Google, when someone shares my site, my image comes up but it is linked to my website. FB may have different criteria. I get so confused. I'm going to try and create a FB acct for my site and see what happens. I will let you know. If you hear a scream, it will probably be me :)
At the bottom of the post it shows you several images and you'll see where you can add an image. Then notice on each pic there is a small blue number click the number for any pic you don't want to show up.
You can use a featured imaged. Featured Image and Facebook If in case it doesn’t display the chosen image, you can try this way. All-in-One SEO Setup
