Images do not show up on Facebook in my wordpress directory, but work in other directories

Help! Up until a week ago images from my website worked fine when I would post to Facebook. Now, nothing shows up. I have OG tags set up in my header that work beautifully, it’s just that the image shows up blank. Ex: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fmydigitalmind.com%2Fblog%2F2013%2F03%2Flast-summers-barred-owls%2F

Notice the image area is blank? If you click on the image, you will see the image, but it still shows blank on Facebook.

I’ve narrowed the issue down a bit, but I need help solving it. My WordPress is set up in a directory on my server /wp/ – the site itself redirects to the root using the exact method that WordPress recommends.

If I load an image from any other directory on my website, it will load up just fine on Facebook. An example is here: http://mydigitalmind.com/IMG_5902.jpg – if you paste that image in your status, it shows up.

Take that same image an put it in my /wp/ directory: http://mydigitalmind.com/wp/IMG_5902.jpg and now it does not show up on Facebook.

  1. You should check your .htaccess file – in most cases it’s the reason that prevents image hotlinking (most websitaes got such solution to avoid excessive traffic).
