Make sure you have proper OG tags in the head of your posts; as FB needs those to know WHAT to pull into a share box.

Use Yoast SEO plugin. Pretty straight forward and easy to use. You can dowload it free on wordpress.org

OG = “open graph” … Facebook need these “tags” to work properly in pulling in your post info. Most of us use the Yoast SEO plugin, which sets those for you, as Arved007 kindly noted.

It’s a learning process; but take it slow, and read up on WHAT is actually going on when you share stuff to Facebook. There is some technical jiggery-pokery going on behind the scenes for it to work properly that has nothing to do with any specific WordPress theme or setting.
