    It looks like the image pointing to imgur.com doesn't exist anymore.

    Use this Facebook Share debugging tool



    This should tell you the details of the error.

      The image is still there Glenn I checked it. Also I had a list of images hidden in the header but deleted them now.

      Is this an option I could use and is the url correct ?

        When you visit that image URL, does the image load?

        I suggest downloading that image from imgur.com then uploading it to your server and changing the image URL to point to the one on your server. That way, you are not relying on external site such as imgur.com.

        vBCloud has File Upload tool in AdminCP where you can upload images to the server. It will then show you the generated image URL after uploading. Use that URL in the Image URL setting above.

        Whenever you change the Image URL setting, you have to clear the Facebook cache. Go to the URL below and then paste the URL for your homepage and then click Debug button. After doing that, try sharing your site again on Facebook. It should show the latest image URL you configured.
