  When I share the URL on Facebook, a picture comes up and then the text from my home page. Above the text is (no title). I can’t seem to find where this is on the site and get rid of it!

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

  Hi there!

  Facebook caches link previews to make them appear faster the next time anyone shares that URL. You’ll often see old photos and text appear there even after you’ve adjusted them on your site.

  They have a tool to reset any link’s preview information here:

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

  When you click “Fetch new scrape information,” Facebook will recrawl the URL you enter and attempt to find the best photo/text possible for its preview.

  For the post you’re sharing, make sure the post has a title and a Featured Image here on WordPress, then enter it’s URL into that Facebook tool and fetch new scrape.

  Let me know if the new preview then yields what you want.

  If it doesn’t help, please send me the URL to the specific post your’e sharing and I’ll see how Facebook is pulling it and recommend changes.
