Social media previews
-
Hi, I recently changed the name of my blog. But my social media previews for my site still show the old name. How do I fix this? Thanks.
Site: https://mrsjackieo.wordpress.com.
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: Yes -
Let me check the settings link. Thx. And yes to first question on title, no to previous posts question. Be back in a sec. Ok it was changed in the Settings. Let me try another share, see what happens

Nope, still displays the old title. Here is a screenshot

I’m not sure what I’m missing here. 🙄 -
Hm, that screenshot album is empty, but if you’re referring to Facebook specifically, there’s a way to fix that. :)
Facebook has a cache that refreshes itself at a time period they don’t specify, but this should clear up automatically eventually.
If you want to clear that up manually now, you can by running the link through https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and on the results page, you’ll see a “Scrape Again” button. Click that to refresh Facebook’s cache.

Hi, Facebook seems to be okay with the new name, but when I share my WordPress site address on Twitter it still shows the original name.
I’m not sure how to show it if the screenshot won’t display.

Ah ok, Twitter also has a cache that will refresh at an undisclosed time.
They don’t make it clear in their documentation, but I believe you can similarly manually refresh their cache by validating your site via https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

@mkjackie99 They will clear their own cache after some time anyway (not sure when — a few hours, a few days?) but yeah, I’ve personally had luck with their card validator. Enjoy your weekend!
