My posts on Facebook are not showing image or posts title in recent days. Domain name is http://www.topic.ie and I am running the latest version of WordPress and Newspaper theme. I’ve checked Facebook Debugger and I get the message: Response Code 403. What is wrong?

Hi,

The issue is not with WordPress or the theme.
The Facebook Debugger shows a 403 error, which means your server is blocking Facebook’s crawler (facebookexternalhit / Facebot).
Because Facebook can’t access the page, it cannot read the title or image, so previews don’t show.
Fix: ask your hosting provider or check your site’s firewall/CDN (e.g. Cloudflare, Wordfence) and whitelist Facebook’s crawler or disable rules blocking bots.
After that, use Facebook Debugger → “Scrape Again.”
