How can I fix the Facebook share/link formatting?
-
When I shared my latest post using the Facebook button at the bottom of my post, it didn’t automatically use one of the photos from my post (or give me the option to choose a photo) or format the Facebook link the way it has in the past. In the past it showed the name of the post very clearly. Now the title of the post is hidden in a web address. How can I make the Facebook formatting look better, like it used to with a photo and the clear title of the post?

You can make a copy very easily by following this article:
