Facebook Like Button Contains No Title

Hey guys, I wanted to see what’s up with the Facebook like button. When a user clicks on ‘Like’ it should display the full post title and even description if there. It does not do that: http://screencast.com/t/hz36iSzUN4Qh – also, it usually asks if you want to post to the wall once clicked. Is there something that needs to be updated here?

Check your post page source to ensure the titles are actually showing in the meta data and og:tags. If tags are properly there, it is likely problem with Facebook.

@Christopher Simmons, so check in loop-single.php? Which one should have og:tags in it? Can you also test it yourself to see if it may be Facebook or the sites if you have the time. Thanks!

HI,
no you need to actually look at the “page source” of the page on the web (built in feature of IE and Chrome, also Firefox) … basically LOOK at the actual rendered page code to see what is actually being rendered online.

See your web browser help for how to “view page source” … simplest way to debug a page is to look at what is actually under the hood as far as the HTML being served up on the web. 🙂
