Social media platforms are a great place to reach shandong phone number new readers, build a following, and get more people to your website. To do this, you need to post interesting and engaging content on your social media accounts.

Featured images shared with your posts can also encourage more people to visit your website.

However, social media sites don't automatically display your featured image when you share content. Sometimes they even show the wrong thumbnail. Here’s how to fix the thumbnail error issue in WordPress.
