My WordPress.com blog post is not posting properly on facebook
-
Hi,
Can you please tell me why my blog “grassrootsprspecialist” post “building relationships with local media is key to PR professionals” isn’t showing properly with photo and correct title on facebook? Instead of the title I get a long WordPress hyphenated title with numbers, and the photo doesn’t show – on facebook.
Thanks so much!
EvelynThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you using Publicize?
What is the URL of the post your refer to?re: images
Unfortunately, we cannot assist you with this. When using Publicize, we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

Hi Timethief,
Thank you for your quick response. I’m new to this, so it can be a bit nerve racking at times. Yes, I am using publicize. The URL is — http://grassrootsprspecialist.wordpress.com/2013/10/16/building-relationships-with-local-media-is-key-for-pr-professionals/

If you aren’t using publicize then are you posting manually to Facebook?
I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

I am posting manually. I’m using the facebook icon at the bottom of my WordPress.com post. How do I subscribe to the thread? I’ve only started using this process recently. Thanks so much for your patience.

Do you also encounter this issue in a different browser? for example Safari or Google Chrome?

Could you send us a screenshot of the page where you’re seeing this? You can upload the screenshot to your blog’s media library.
Otherwise send us your Facebook profile (if it’s public) so we can take a look at your manual posting there and compare it with the post.

Hi,
I took a few screenshots for you and am uploading these now to my media library. I took one with my first blog, which shows the photo and looks great, and the second blog I wrote, which is the one that has the weird link and no photo. I tried to post it in so many different ways, so many times, even on my personal profile, but it keeps posting the same way. Eighty-six folks viewed my first blog, but only 15 viewed the second. I think that it’s because there was no photo attached, and the link was confusing. Thank you so much for your continued help. Best, Evelyn -
My facebook page is public. It’s Media Image Public Relations or http://www.facebook.com/mediaimagepr. Thank you, Evelyn

We’ve used the Facebook Debug tool to re-crawl your link: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Could you give it another try and see if the title and description is correct when you share?
