  Hello, we are experiencing a problem on our website with regard to the preview on social media.
  Every post in our blog has (wrongly and as never happened until now) the field og:url valued with https://ethnosdemos.wordpress.com/sp_post_date/

  This means that every time we post a blog post on a social network, the preview is in error due to this redirect in the metatags.
  We have never encountered this problem so far (in 3 years).

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

  I don’t have an answer, but this is exactly the same problem I have had today when trying to share a new post – your og:url error is the same as mine. I don’t know where to go in the WordPress.com block editor to change the og:url field to the correct URL.

  So apparently it was in our case a problem with the Jetpack plugin.
  I used the Facebook debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to fetch the short link Jetpack provides for the post (wp.me/…) , and after that also the standard url started showing the preview.

  Thank you – putting the wp.me link through the debugger worked for me on Facebook!
