• In my music blog I have a menu of categories which contain multiple posts about music. Each post has its own share button for Facebook, Twitter etc. The problem Im having is that no matter which post I try and share on Facebook, it always just shares whatever post is at the top of the page. The Twitter share button seem unaffected by this problem. Iv’e discovered a few things that may help figure this out. A lot of times my comments box isnt open under a post, theres just a line that says “leave comment”, and I have to click on it to open the dialogue, or go to Screen Options and click/unclick comments. If I share to Facebook when the comment box is open it will share the actual post, no problems, but if the comment box is closed, like most, it will just share whatever is at the top of the page. Even when I get it to open and share the proper post it doesnt stay that way, when I go back to the post later the comments box is closed again and its not sharing the right post, again its only with Facebook, not Twitter. My debug feature has also disappeared and my featured image isnt showing up on a lot of the posts Im trying to share. Im fairly new to blogging, have only tried to add code once and it was very confusing so if you are going to suggest that please be patient and tell me exactly what line Im supposed to put it in. I have tried deactivating category sticky plug ins and other plug ins too but nothing has worked. Im worried I did something that removed my debug feature, although I though that was built in to WP. Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide me! My site is basically non functional with these issues.

  • What plugin are you using for the Facebook sharing? Or is it a feature built into your theme? Either way, you will need to ask the developer of the plugin/theme for support since that is not a function of WordPress.

    I have tried several sharing plug ins. I just tried a new one now called Simple Share, and deleted the other one and all of a sudden its working again! As well as sharing the proper post it is also sharing my featured image which wasnt working with the other plug in I was using.Now I just have to figure out where my debugging tool went!
