Hello. I just upgraded easy social to 1.2.3 and the Social Share function does not work probably. It just shares the url, and not description (It takes description form website name and website description, NOT the link description)

Please take a look at the attachment and help me.

Thank you verymuch
Hi,

The social share does not inject this data. Facebook API only allows the API to pass in a website address and the rest is crawled and retrieved by Facebook depending on your site's structure.

Thank you. Can you suggest me how to make this feature to work on my site. It works on the demo site, and If it does not inject description data, it does not make sense.

Thank you

Hi,

It depends on the structure of your site. You will need to have template or system plugin that generates the appropriate data for Facebook to pull.

Hello Hoang,

Which particular page are you trying to share here? Can you please advise? Perhaps if you can provide us with the link to the particular page, it would be great

Hello Hoang,

It looks like your Joomla template or plugin may have been injecting opengraph data on the page headers. See my screenshot below. This somehow confuses Facebook.
