I am using WordPress with the WordPress SEO plugin which automatically sets the og data. I would like to make the og:image set as the YouTube thumbnail if there is an ebedded video in a post. FYI I use dlvr.it to post to social media accounts when I create a post in WordPress. The problem is that a blank thumbnail shows up on Facebook if there is a YouTube embedded video in the post instead of a photo. Does anyone know how to automate this?

Here are links to the blog and rss feed: http://www.lattianderson.com/blog/ http://www.lattianderson.com/blog/feed/

Using facebook URL linter tool, you can see that your og:image property is not set properly. You should include only the youtube video id in the URI segment after /vi/ , as in:

should be
