social media post not showing photos.?
I have social media icons on both of my websites and they were all working great up until about two weeks ago,
now i have five of them on my sites, they are facebook, pintrest, LinkIn Goolge + and Twitter,
in the last week or so Facebbok has not been allowing the main photo to appear, and Pintrest has not been allowing any pins,.It keeps saying the problem is on their end but nothing is being done about it,.. I've tried a few things like deleting my social media and restarting it, still it does not work, and this is on both of my websites.
so if there is anything you all feel i am doing wrong please inform me, or point me in the right direction .Please do because i need to address this problem, . I have also tried using the SEO social media functions and that did not work either. Thank you all for your time and thoughts in advance, I have a very busy day ahead of me here so if by chance i do not respond right away that is why,..

Pinterest has often to do with the size, too small to fetch. For image display, you can go to: Social Sharing - No Image displayed
this is what is shown to me when i trouble shoot the problem,
og:image could not be downloaded or is too small og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image 'https://americasgotreviews.com/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/images/default-user-image.png' will be used instead. Consult http://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler for more troubleshooting tips.

read my blog post about this, Dennis - How to Display Image from Your Post or Page to Social Media Posts?
well now it is showing an image but it' s the main image from my header, how do I change that,??
Please read my article. I explained how to change the setting so that your featured image is the one that will be shown.
It's the part about Image Setting for OG Image.
I did read it and it changed for some photos. Ur not others
After you have made the changes, any future post to social media will reflect your new settings; e.g. show Featured Image instead of site image.
Any previous postings will not reflect the change.
Also, some social media do not grab the correct OG Image based on the setting. When you post a new post, which social media shows the image you, and which did not? Take note but there is very little you can do about this because this will be that particular social media platform's programming, and how they handle OG Image.
There is a way to specify which OG Image for a platform to grab. But that will require programming. And it is manual for each post.
The article I shared shows how to set it such that future posts automatically grabs the Featured Image.
thanks for this.. hope it works..
It works for my sites, Shelley. Do let me know if you need further guidance on this?
