It has been wonky for quite awhile. Do it manually and you can pick whatever photo in your inventory you want. 

Yes I have no problems here

There is nothing wrong with G, it's AR's problem. It's been happening for years where your big head just shows up. I upload my own pic now so it has the photo I choose.

Yes and I do so manually and just add the photo/graphic I want there - I don't ever post directly from AR there (they always have the wrong photo/graphic displayed as the 'first' photo).

I had stopped because it was not working

Thanks for sharing your experience. These issues need to be corrected by ActiveRain.

I minus a picture here or there....now and again

I've never shared a post from AR to Google+, so I am not aware.

I never shared from ActiveRain.... I wrote a fresh post or did a copy and paste.....

I've had that problem a few times. When it happens, I just manually upload a photo.

Good to read the comments..don't post directly from AR..they just don't have a smooth transition.

No, so can't help you!

Ginny,

If I share it is from our site.

You can do it manually.  Not that difficult.

Does ActiveRain really care about this issue and several other tech issues?  

Hi Ginger... I check regularly and my images do show up.

I forget that Google + exists until I am reminded.

Did you fix it?

I always insert my own photo, so have not seen this, will need to check it out.

I learned that if auto post does not work well, post manually a link with a picture of your choice. I do it with FB as well. 

I know this has been happening for awhile

No.

Not lately, but when I post, then I do

We have not

Ginny Gorman - I think it gives you an option to choose the image. I have not done this in a while, though.

G+ doesn't seem to generate much for me so I don't use it often anymore. Heard it's relevance has declined too from a marketing expert I interviewed on my Podcast a couple months back...are you having good results?

I can't keep  with it all

I used to , but something changed in the last 2-3 months that makes it too hard !

I share my posts through my website, but do "scrub" them first through the facebook debugger. If I didn't do this, my photos would not show. Perhaps that is the same issue you are experiencing?

I share mine manually.

I share there often, but never go back to see how it looks, just sharing for the backlink.

Just another the thing that will require a work around. 

I think the social sharing on here hasn't worked for a while.  It certainly hasn't worked for FB.  But, I never share from here anymore.  I share from my own blog (which is the better way to go). I used to share other people's stuff on here but it was broken so I stopped.

G+ and FB and others work fine if you share from your own WP site.

Manually posting seems to be the answer.
