I created a website - http://mati.ravpage.co.il/check4 The website contains one og:image tag and is linted properly.
However, when I want to share this link (by placing it inside a newly created status): it shows two possible thumbnail, the default being different then the one declared in og:image. You can see this in the following screenshot: screen shot
I'm using Chrome and am pretty sure it was different a few weeks ago - back then only the og:image thumbnail was shown.
Am I doing something wrong here, are the og:... tags improper or is it a new Facebook behavior?
Thanks in advance, Mati Skiba

There are times when you share the link on Facebook and thumbnail image doesn't show up or it does appear, but it is not the picture you've expected to be shown. In order to fix these steps should be taken: 1. Verify if there are OG tags on your website.
If you have any problems with images not being displayed correctly for a URL, try plugging in the image URL in the Sharing Debugger for any errors. If you think there's an issue on our side, consider filing a bug report to us.
Images in Link Shares 1 The Open Graph meta-tag. The og:image tag can be used to specify the URL of the image that appears when someone shares the content to Facebook. 2 Requirements. The minimum allowed image dimension is 200 x 200 pixels. ... 3 Pre-caching images. ... 4 Updating images. ... 5 Troubleshooting. ...
However, there is no harm in specifying both og:imageand og:image:secure_urland pointing them both at the same https://... URL. WordPress appears to do this by default. However, as mentioned, if your site is onlyHTTPS then there does not appear to be a need to specify og:image:secure_urlas well.
This page will tell you what's wrong, if anything: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. For me, the image was too small (200 x 200 min).
