Social Media and Sharing

[Heirloom_Angel]

I love the idea of being able to turn on the sharing buttons for my blog, but I don't understand why it looks like this when I try to share to Facebook:

It has the blog title, but after that all that shows is the footer info.  I really don't want this in the post.  I've been trying to figure this out (including the help of tech support) since I started this blog.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Even when I use the Zotabox app or copy & paste the URL it has the same results.  That indicates to me that there is something in the blog code itself causing this to happen.

Also - if there were a way to customize these to not include count or to alter colors, that would be awesome! 

Thank you in advance!

We had the same problem and this thread helped fix it

Also, there is a Facebook debugger that can help too https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Thanks for the response, but the photo is not my problem.  It is the actual content.

I have been asking this for a few years and NOT sharing to Facebook because of it.  If I am using a share button directly from a blog post, the content should post...not the footer of my site.  Where is admin on this? Why when I share to Facebook from my site, does the footer information show?  

Anyone?  Beuller?

@Heirloom_AngelI compared our sites since we both use Blog feature as I was able to solve this (just forgot how).

Have you  tried <meta property="og:type"   content="website" />

This is entered in Settings -> SEO -> Header Code

@NateMcClain_Art  Somehow I missed that!  Thank you!  I will go try it and see what happens. *Wings crossed*

@NateMcClain_Art  Well, it didn't work. I even tried editing the code. No change...still the same with my footer info. It doesn't matter if I use Weebly's sharing, my social sharing app, or copy & paste the url... it's still the same.  =(  Thank you for trying to help.  It is sincerely appreciated.

@Heirloom_Angelugh, thought that would do it. 

Another option is to add an SEO description to each Blog page, which I have done to my blog.

Try entering a description here:

Post Options -> Advanced -> SEO Post Description

Hope it works this time!
