  Hi everyone!
  With some friends I have an online magazine, where we write articles and post them on Facebook. Since we changed the theme (to Dara) sometimes the shared article on Facebook will not show the title of the post, and the thumbnail, just the name of the website.
  Do you know how to fix it?

  Are you using Publicize? https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
  Have you tried using the Facebook debugger?

  We have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

  Hi, There currently is a known issue with Facebook. Please refer to this forum post by Staff in the premium theme forum, which is relevant for everyone, and which contains a workaround for running your post through the FB debugger: https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/topic/featured-image-doesnt-show-when-post-to-facebook?replies=13#post-112057

  Staff will update that post once it is resolved. You can subscribe to that thread from the subscribe link in the forum thread sidebar.
