Praveen Patel is Coming up as author on my Facebook Page
-
Have been using WordPress blog since January and today Praveen Patel has started to appear as the author of my posts when I post a link to my facebook page – even if I repost an old one. I just saw a post that asked about this too, but when I clicked the content was withheld by you and the post has now vanished altogether.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This might be a Facebook problem. I noticed the same, but on investigation with the developer tool I found FB finds the correct author.
What seems to be happening is that FB displays a link to Facebook.com/author and the handle “author” is owned by Praveen Patel (like “armin.grewe” is mine) -

I have the same problem.

This is being discussed in a couple of other threads too. The answer seems to be as many of us as possible need to report it to Facebook so they take some notice – although ideally we need wordpress to raise as they’ll have more influence.

I have the same problem with wigges.wordpress.com. But only when I linked blog post on my companys site on FB, not on my private FB. Strange.

We’ve had several reports of this already and I’ve made our team that works with partners such as Facebook aware of the issue. For now, please subscribe to this thread as we investigate the issue:
At the moment this appears to be a Facebook issue, since we’ve yet to see ‘Praveen Patel’ mentioned in any of the affected sites’ source code, and that’s our only way of asking Facebook to display information.
We will continue to investigate anything we can do on our end and report back here with new information once we have any.
I’m closing this thread for ease of reporting back to everyone in one place.
