    Hi, i try to change the Facebook description but that doesn’t work.
    The currently description is :
    “Écris ton livre en équipe sur Co-Aut ! Inscris-toi sur ta plateforme d’écriture en ligne et découvre le plaisir de créer une histoire entre co-auteurs.”

    But, on Facebook is the old version, why ?
    “Écris ton livre en groupe sur Co-Aut ! Inscris-toi sur ta plateforme d’écriture en ligne et découvre le plaisir de créer une histoire entre co-auteurs.”

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello @anthony38

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. You can change the Facebook description in the social tab of the Yoast SEO meta box when you edit the page. See screenshot.

    Could you share a screenshot of your meta box similar to mine? You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

    Ok thank you for your share.
    The screen for the website : https://snipboard.io/BKrfJL.jpg
    And the second on Facebook : https://snipboard.io/BmzjZS.jpg

    I want to change the word “group” by “team” in the sentence and that doesn’t work. Thank you for your help !

    Here’s what I see in the page source:

    <meta property="og:description" content="Écris ton livre en équipe sur Co-Aut ! Inscris-toi sur ta plateforme d'écriture en ligne et découvre le plaisir de créer une histoire entre co-auteurs." />

    That means the Yoast SEO is working as expected. However, this change isn’t going to be reflected on an already shared post on Facebook. You need to delete the old post and re-post.

    Thanks for the clarification. Using the Facebook sharing debugger, I saw the wrong og:description too, though their scraper was seeing the correct one. I scraped a few times, and the correct description is showing now; it’s likely Facebook cache. See screenshot.
