    Hi. When I FB share an event made with event-list the FB button produces the page title (Events) not the Event Title. It then includes the actual short code “[event-list]…” This is a bummer!!! Any way around this? The FB share is from Social Media Feather. The Tweet button works fine.

    I think the problem is that the events are displayed in the page content yet.
    It is already planned to add seperate event sites for each event, but it will take a while before it will be included. So unfortunately I cannot help you for now.

    Thanks so much for your quick reply.. Yes adding separate event sites for each event would help.. But I FIXED IT.. this way..

    I installed the Yoast SEO plugin..

    In my case, I entered a title in the General settings SEO Title called “Events and Training”…

    Then in the Social in the Facebook Description I put “Hepatitis C Training Workshops & Community Events” .. I think this is what got rid of the short code in the ‘page content’

    Then I added a logo to the facebook image..

    You can see how it all works by going to https://dev.hcvadvocate.org/events-2/?event_id1=14 and clicking on the FB share button.

    But please don’t share this unless you really want to share this event!!!
