OG: Image: Correct Image Identified, Different Image Shows

Good Afternoon,
I'm currently configuring the OG plugin on my site. In the page source the plugin correctly identifies which image/URL it should use (via the "og:image" meta) but the image that is shared to social media is different. I'm not sure how this is happening.

Hi, check if the image is larger than 200x200 pixels. If yes, then I think it is a question on Facebook developers (or other social media site)

It sure is. I'll keep it under 200px moving forward. Thanks for the quick reply!

Good Afternoon,
I've tried using an intro and full article image that is less than 200x200 and it is still showing a different image on all social media sites. I've tried Twitter, Pinterest, FB, etc. The same issue as stated earlier, the image URL is correctly defined in the source but is not being used as the social media image.

Hi, not sure if you understood it correctly, the image should be larger than 200px not smaller.
