There's no title to my blog when I link to it from Facebook.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I posted a link to my blog in a post on Facebook. Facebook automatically searches and produces a thumbnail picture and link to the site, but where you would normally see the title of my blog, it says, “(no title)”. Is this because I haven’t entered a blog title in my settings? I didn’t do this because I have a custom header with the blog title as part of the header .jpeg.

    Is there a way around this so my blog title shows up in links?

    Thanks! :)

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

    The site linked to your username is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog and those are the only blogs we provide support for on this forum. You are posting to the wrong support forum and must post to http://wordpress.org/support/ to get support for that site.
    For clarity read: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org

    Hi,

    My site IS a WordPress.com site. I signed up for a free blog on WordPress.com. My site was livingwithbackbone.wordpress.com, and I paid extra to own the domain, livingwithbackbone.com. I never downloaded WordPress software form WordPress.org, so I’m confused.

    This is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog http://www.juanimahiatt.com/ and we cannot provide support for it. If you are referring to another site that is a free hosted WordPress.com then please post an active link to it starting with http://

    On http://livingwithbackbone.com/ you have deleted the title at settings > general. That means there is no title for facebook to see.

    Go back to settings > general and add your site title back in there and save. Then go to appearance > header and if you do not want the title to show, under “display title” click “no” and then save your changes.

    Timethief,

    I don’t know why juanimahiatt.com comes up when you click on my username. All I know is that I’m asking for support for my WordPress blog, livingwithbackbone.com. I built juanimahiatt.com through CirclePad, and merely LINKED my WordPress blog to my website. I’m only asking for help with my blog.

    TheSacredPath – THANK YOU!!! That’s exactly what I needed to know!!! You’re a Godsend!! :D

    You are welcome.

    You can set what URL is linked to your username by going to users > personal settings, scroll down to “account info” and in the website field you can put the URL that you want linked to your username here in the forums and when you comment on other sites here when logged in.

    To change the blog linked to your username > Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

    Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

    You are welcome from me. It can take a little while for facebook to update things, so you will have to be patient on that side.
