Hello!  
We have a problem with posting our content using Ghost in the LinkedIn.  
I don’t know why but LinkedIn shows default Ghosts’s blog-cover.jpg inherited from casper theme despite the fact that we have chosen our custom theme. As I know this cover image is used for Casper theme.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/4/4ab722589c23f28fc9faf570069c5f998b74a114.jpeg)  
There are no links to blog-cover.jpg in the html layout.  
There is a publication cover image replaced with our company image. And I don’t understand why LinkedIn takes default blog-cover.jpg…  
Do you have any ideas why this could happen?  
Thanks a lot!

LinkedIn caches images for a while. If you had linkedin fetch your site before updating the cover, it will be like this for a while. I’m not sure exactly how long, but it should eventually fix itself.

Thanks @vikaspotluri123 for this idea. It helped me to realize how to clean LinkedIn cache for root page of the Ghost:

> **[Post Inspector](https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect)**
>
> Get insights into how your content shows up on LinkedIn with Post Inspector.

But there are another problem with posting links to Ghost’s posts in the LinkedIn. This posts remain without image (there is only gray box)  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/1/1ce98ad41c68a235a07e51a8cc4939f599c47687.png)

\<meta property=“og:image” points to correct image location but there are only gray square near blog text in a LinkedIn’s post preview  
Any ideas?

🙂 actually the problem is solved: LinkedIn’s cache cleaning has helped.  
Many thank to @vikaspotluri123 and to Ghost’s community!
