Hi, I’m seeing the following shortcode in the Website Preview when I share my site’s link on Facebook.
Home
[vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1444876145823{padding-top: 0px
Any clues as to why this might be happening?
Hi,
That seems to be the first description of the website, which is also picked up by Facebook

Do you maybe use another SEO plugin or implementation besides Yoast? Try setting a description in Yoast of your choosing here for the homepage

Or for pages in general – https://www.screencast.com/t/cDLRJmsD8
Then fetch the new information again with the Facebook tool

Thanks
Hi,
Currently, Yoast is the only SEO plugin I’m using. I tried adding meta descriptions in the said places, but I’m still getting the same result. If there are additional solutions, please let me know and I’ll give them a go.
I see the same happens, try to clear any caching installed and purge CDN files. I tested it again, the description you set manually should appear in the page source

In your case the same description is displayed and picked by the socials

Hi Simion, thanks for your help. I was unable to find a way to change the og:description through WordPress (WordPress settings, plugins, theme settings, etc.) but I managed to change it in the database. Now, if I look at the html <head> of my home page “http://www.great-taste.net/”, the og:description meta tag shows that its content is blank (which is okay by me for now, it’s better than showing VC shortcode). However, going to the Facebook debugger site and forcing Facebook to scrape my homepage still yields the “[vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_144487…” as shown in the debugger. Any idea why this might be happening?
Ah I tried scraping with the Facebook debugger again after a few minutes and it’s seemed to pull the right info now. Thanks!
