Troubleshooting

​
Image is missing from the published post

Check the App Mode of your Facebook app. In Development mode, posts with media are only visible to app developers/testers. Everyone else sees the post without the image. Switch the app to Live mode to make the image visible to all users.

​
Facebook posts work for you but not for other users

Same root cause as above: the app is in Development mode. Only roles you have explicitly added (developers, testers, admins) can see content published via the API. Set the app to Live.
