  I’ve set my WordPress.com site to automatically publish posts to Facebook, but it’s using the first 130 characters or so as a text description which looks messy and I don’t want any text there whatsoever. I tried changing the ‘Facebook sharing’ box to blank or some other text, but it just puts that in front of the text. Is there any way to set it to not add anything to this section?

  Btw, this isn’t regarding the ‘excerpt’ section which I’ve made blank by just inserting a space in the block, but the bit that you can edit on Facebook.

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

  You can use Publicize to auto-post for you as described here. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/ Or you can post manually to each social network.

  You can insert a read more tag anywhere you wish to have it appear in any post. https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  This still doesn’t remove the standard ‘excerpt’, it just adds text in front of it.
