Questions about sharing via Facebook
-
Hi, I have two questions about sharing my posts via Facebook.
First, when I share a post, none of the content/text/description from the post shows up. Only the title and an image. ??? I don’t know why. I have several other WordPress blogs, and I don’t have this issue with any of the others. Here’s a sample post so you can see what I mean:
Second, do I have to choose between a Facebook share and like button? I’d really love to have both of them in my social media sharing options – is this possible?
Thanks!
ShelleyThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I cannot answer your first question. The answer to your second question is found here and it’s good news. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/its-possible-facebook-share-and-like-buttonsat-the-same-time?replies=61 -

I tried sharing the URL that starts with wp.me and I indeed get no description by default. However when I try manually sharing the full URL, I get the description as usual. I read somewhere that Facebook caches site titles, descriptions and thumbnails for about 24 hours. So try again in 24 hours with the short URL… -
Great, this was actually a duplicate…
