I've flagged the post for Kriesi to take a look at as I'm not sure what else you could do. </p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/sharing-articles-on-facebook-displays-wrong-article-excerpt#post-55792 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:41:34 +0000 ckmede 55792@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>This might narrow down the issue:</p> <p>The bug occurs when you enable the checkmark labeled "Use the description to create a Text Block..." when creating a mega menu within Appearance &gt; Menus in WordPress. I had a paragraph in there and it seems to complain when the &lt;p&gt; tags are inserted. I tried &lt;span&gt; and it also bugs out. I just stripped out the description and it works fine now, even without the Yoast SEO plugin.</p> <p>See here: <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/fbbug.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fresnostatenews.com/fbbug.jpg</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/sharing-articles-on-facebook-displays-wrong-article-excerpt#post-55714 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:21:08 +0000 kita817 55714@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>This plugin did not resolve my facebook posting issues. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/sharing-articles-on-facebook-displays-wrong-article-excerpt#post-55669 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:41:30 +0000 Dude 55669@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi! </p> <p> Did you try Yoast SEO: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/</a> - it works very well with og meta data. </p> <p> Best regards,<br /> Peter </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/sharing-articles-on-facebook-displays-wrong-article-excerpt#post-55607 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:49:57 +0000 kita817 55607@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>It is also not letting me select an image from the post.

Instead, it displays a block of content in our mega menu.</p> <p>How can we fix this so that an excerpt of the posted article shows up in the description?</p> <p>Here's the site: <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fresnostatenews.com</a></p> <p>Here's a screenshot to help explain what's happening: <a href="http://www.fresnostatenews.com/fbsharing.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fresnostatenews.com/fbsharing.jpg</a> </p>
