    (Mods, I put this thread here as I think its more suitable to development than blogs & wiki's)

    Has anyone come across this problem? Posts on my site are being shared by the social media buttons under each post (Jetpack) When you share to Facebook (Publicise in jetpack) and when someone shared from the post share button, it used to come up on the persons timeline as gibberish, though Facebook have since seemed to have rectified the problem.

    Today I've noticed one of my posts have been shared through twitter and it is now happening on that. The person that shared the post, I think has their twitter linked to their facebook account and the link is coming up there as gibberish. It looks bad, like spam, screenshot below. It should be showing the meta description of the post?

    I've done a search for known conflicts with plugins but cannot find anything, the pagebuilder plugin being a usual suspect!

    What tool is your website built in? Do you have the OG tabs installed?

    Sorry, I meant OG tags (as in Open Graph) - thee are what FB uses to know where to find the description etc.

    'Fraid I cannot help beyond that, as I'm not familiar enough with Wordpress.

    But if I was googling for help, I'd be looking for know issues with jetpack as well as with Facebook.

    Thanks Mrs OBumble, I narrowed it down to the open graph tags. I had yoast SEO plugin installed but hadn't the open graph tags ticked on it. Have done so now and will need to test again. Thanks again for your help.
