Sharing Blog Posts to Facebook

Permalink
Hello all,

I have been experiencing something quite odd with my blog posts. On one particular blog post, I have tried sharing it (copying and pasting) the link to Facebook and Facebook is pulling (or rather adding) additional terms to the titles. I have checked my meta titles, my blog post titles and the additional terms are nowhere to be found on the blog itself (or in the meta titles). I have removed the old page versions, emptied my trash and cleared the cache several times on the website and still no luck. Has anyone had this issue before? If so, what was the problem and how can I resolve it. I would like Facebook to pull my actual title, and not have additional words added.

Usually, Facebook gets its data from what is called Open Graph tags in your page. Those are Facebook's own proprietary tags. For instance, look for a tag in your page that would look like this
<meta property="og:title" content="your page's title">

Notice the og: ? that's for open graph.

If you have this on your page, you might have an extra package installed somewhere that is adding those tags to your pages
