Facebook share link - thumbnail and description wrong

Support
#1

Hi,
I am making my portfolio entries by duplicating the previous entry and changing all descriptions and images.
The problem I often have is that when I share the link, the thumbnail image and description is taken from the previous post, even if it’s changed in all places I can think of.
I purge the cache, use different browsers and mobile and it’s still the same issue.

Here is my latest post:

Could you check that for me? What do I need to change to make it work?

Thank you for your help!

Hi There,

It might be Facebook doesn’t update your latest thumbnail.

Could you please try fetch new information of your portfolio item on this link?

Let us know how it goes!

Hi,

Hi there,

I checked and it’s correctly displaying the image and description. Here is the code from your site

<meta property="og:title" content="Dungarvan Photographer Bunmahon Beach Engagement Photos" />
<meta property="og:description" content="&#039;I do&#039; photography - Safekeeping LOVE forever." />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://idophotographydungarvan.ie/portfolio-item/bunmahon-beach-engagement-wedding-photographer-waterford/" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Wedding photographer Waterford Cork &#039;I do&#039; photography" />
<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/idophotography" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://idophotographydungarvan.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Wedding-photographer-Waterford-I-do-photography-Pawel-Lorenc_7503556.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://idophotographydungarvan.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Wedding-photographer-Waterford-I-do-photography-Pawel-Lorenc_7503556.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="960" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="641" />

The image is

And the description is

&#039;I do&#039; photography - Safekeeping LOVE forever

Facebook only displays what it can scrape from your page. Perhaps it’s your page that is displaying wrong OpenGraph Content especially the description? You can try adding excerpt to your posts manually (https://napitwptech.com/tutorial/adding-manual-excerpt-in-wordpress-posts/).

Usually, those OG contents are derived from excerpt (except SEO plugin adds their own), and excerpt is generated by Wordpress by removing codes, HTML, scripts, and shortcodes. And since you build your posts in the builder where all content are wrapped with the shortcodes, then the content you’re expecting to see in the excerpt is different. Hence, the solution is manually adding the excerpt, Wordpress added that feature for that purpose :slight_smile:

Thanks!
