Body of post not displaying in Facebook preview

  • I’ve got my blog all set up with WordPress. However, recently, I’ve been having trouble sharing my posts on Facebook. The image and title display fine in the preview window. However, instead of displaying the first couple sentences in the body of my posting, Facebook just displays:

    “Related”

    I’m illiterate in web development, so I’m going to need to have my hand held here.

    When a page is shared on Facebook for the first time, Facebook “scrapes” the URL in order to fetch information like titles, descriptions and images. It then caches what it finds.

    When Facebook last attempted to scrape your posts for information, it seems your Facebook sharing settings were not properly configured: Facebook was being told, incorrectly, that the description for each post was the word “Related”.

    I have re-scraped the last couple of posts for you. In other words, I have cleared the relevant part of Facebook’s cache. They should now display properly. You can test them to confirm this.

    If you are experiencing the same problem for any other pages on your site, enter them into Facebook’s URL linter, select “Debug”, then select “Fetch new scrape information”.
