I tried lots of time to change image but not success. I also remove image from project still its display in popup.
What is actual problem i can not found. Fb cache issue or something different.
Any one have a idea then please share it.

Once a url has been shared, Facebook's crawler, which has a user agent of facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+https://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php), will access your page and cache the meta information. To force Facebook servers to clear the cache, use the Facebook Url Debugger / Linter Tool that they launched in June 2010 to refresh the cache and troubleshoot any meta tag issues on your page.

I've changed the social media image of my GitHub repository, but when I try to share it in facebook and it displays the old image as I've never updated it in the first place. The image can be updated by going to your repo -> Settings -> Social preview. I dowloaded the template and used it to create an image, but did not remove the red bars on the sides. When I shared it looked like crap, so I removed the red bars and made them white. Now my phone does not want to display the new image when I share it on facebook.
Is this a browser related cache issue or simply the GitHub feature does not work? What am I doing wrong?
Just add ?anything to link of repository.
Example : https://github.com/ZakariaMahmoud/image-generator/?anything
The problem was solved when I made an URL re-scrape as #04FS suggested. I had to open the facebook page with a regular browser, not the dedicated app, follow the link he provided and paste the URL in there. In the option Time Scraped was set to yesterday at 11:32, which means that FB caches internally the URL result. After hitting the button Scrape Again, the social media picture appeared correctly without the red borders.
I had this issue with Twitter. It was enough logging out and logging in again.
I have cleared facebook cache to change "share image" by using
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug for specific URL.
I want to clear cache and change "share image" for entire site. There are hundreds of URL, so it is tough to clear cache for each url by entering here
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Also I use http://www.webcoachbd.com?fbrefresh=5465468464 this in above debugger. Yet not appearing correct image when share in facebook for many URL in this site (webcoachbd.com).
somebody help plz.
I'm having issues when a user tries to share the URL to a Facebook tab app that I have setup.
When they paste the URL to the tab in their share window and then post their status update, the tab image is shown when viewed on their profile, however there is no image shown on the newsfeed version of the same post.
I've tried adding open graph meta tags to the app, but I believe that it is being ignored since it is located inside of the iframe, and the facebook open graph meta overrides it.
Does anyone know how to ensure an image is maintained when the tab URL is shared directly?
I've burnt a lot of time trying to solve this issue as well. The best I've come up with is that Facebook is going to chose to display the 111x74 app icon. Sharing this on a page's news feed makes it very pixelated and oddly offset, as it should be using a 1200x630 minimum image size, as dictated by the OG tag best practices, but Facebook has not allowed us to have that option in the app configs. It may be that your app icon is being offset enough to not appear like it's visible in the news feed.
So, from my research, we're out of luck until Facebook decides to fix this issue. Until that time, I don't think it's even worth trying to get the any image to work.
Someone feel free to prove me wrong.
I have problem with Facebook Sharer.
I've created a simple share button to include page on Facebook's wall, but the title, description and image are wrong.
I've cleared cache with debug tool but on my site the button show me old elements. How can I refresh it?
The URL Linter detects all of my og:image thumbnails, but Facebook only allows me to choose between 3 when I share the link (ref.). The site is W3C verified, and I've triple checked the meta tags I'm using. The images are square jpegs that are 300x300px.
Here's the link I'm trying to share, http://proactiveresources.com/021313. The website was created using Adobe Muse, and I'm testing the share on Google Chrome.
Does anyone have any further suggestions?
If I understand your question(my english is bad):
If you just created or changed your og: tags, you may wait 24hrs or
in order to get your Facebook thumbnails to work, you need to force Facebook to refresh its cache. If Facebook have already crawled your site/post, it stores it in its cache, and it might take 24 hours to get any new updates to show. So, that’s why you need to force Facebook to refresh its cache by adding the url to the post you want to share.
Visit this link
add your url then click debug
if this failed you may wait 24 hrs.
A possible solution could be to change the og:type to "website" or "product", this way Facebook will pull more images.
