  For some reason, I seem to be experiencing some difficulty when copying the links to my most recent blog posts and pasting them to Facebook. The information for those particular posts doesn’t show up, only a generic link to my blog and for some reason it keeps pulling up my Instagram photos as the photos to go along with it. I deleted my Instagram widget from but that didn’t help. Still when I go to paste the link to my blog post, the post itself doesn’t show up. Do you have any idea what might be causing that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I was able to successfully paste a URL into Facebook as shown here:

  

  The URL I used was the following:

  http://pinkcandyandstilettos.com/2014/01/08/passion-purpose-and-vision/

  Can you make sure you’re pasting the individual post URL and not the URL for your homepage?

  If it’s still not working on your side, please let me know a specific URL you’re having trouble with!

  Yes, my older posts paste fine. It is the newer ones that seem to having trouble. Specifically, the following…

  Hi!

  I tested out one of the blog posts you mentioned (Women to Watch: The Researcher…). I was able to successfully upload it to Facebook as shown here:

  

  Are you still having trouble on your side? If so, are you having trouble with the URL or with the image being shared?

  Hello!

  They wouldn’t load at all before, but they seem to be working now… maybe the issue resolved itself! Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

  Hi again,

  So, I guess I spoke too soon. I still seem to be having the same issue as before. Take this post for example…

  http://pinkcandyandstilettos.com/2014/03/17/women-to-watch-the-social-activist-rahiel-tesfamariam/

  When you copy and paste it into Facebook it just pulls the site’s header and doesn’t pull the info for the post at all. The post info only begins to show up after the post has been up for a few days.

  Hi there,

  When I copied/pasted your link I found that it was pulling your site header. However, after I debugged the post it is working correctly as seen here:

  

  Next time you find this happening, can you please put the link to the post in the Facebook Object debugger here:

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

  That should fix it!

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
