  When sharing a link of the site via messaging (facebook, text etc) no preview of the site displays as normally occurs when linking to websites or nlogs. The site title and site preview (of the blog on the site) had previously displayed and no longer do.

  I have tried several different themes.
  I have tried removing and readding the title.
  I have tried removing and readding the site logo.
  I have tried clicking and unclicking display title/tag line

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

  You can try using the Facebook debugger
  http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  If you are not successful provide examples and type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  This basically happens when FB isn’t re-scrapping the pages of your site. One way to see how the “Share” is going to look is to use the FB share debugger and it will show you everything it see and will recache your page for you. Here is a link to it again

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/

  Just paste the URL of the page you want to share into it and then press debug. I tested the # schools in lockdown article and the image showed up after I had it re-scrape.
