Okay, it’s me again. :o)
I tested this by adding an image to a post and clicking the Facebook share button. The photo didn’t show up, but instead of showing my website’s name twice, it showed the URL, the post title, and an excerpt, which I really like.
If it’s not going to show the photo, I wish it would still grab the title and excerpt. Is there any way to do this?
I’m an essayist and don’t intend to upload many images to my posts. I can understand if Pinterest requires a photo, but a nice message explaining this would be helpful instead of an error message.
With Facebook, it didn’t grab the photo, but because the photo was there, it made Facebook sharer happy and so it went ahead and grabbed the post title and excerpt.
Ack. :o)

Hi 🙂
I think the problem you’re having is that Facebook had cached that share URL with a 503 error response code (which I discovered using this tool).
Since it was getting a 503, it wasn’t able to pick up the title and description data.
I asked Facebook to re-fetch that information and now the title and description are being picked up properly. 🙂
Oh, my gosh, I love you! Thank you so much.
Your plugin will be widely shared by me. You’re so thorough and attentive. I was thrilled to see that Facebook grabbed the moose image way down in the footer and put it next to the post title and excerpt. It looks great!!
Carla :o)))
Hi NoseGrace
I tried what you suiggested but nothing changed. Are their more detailed instructions on exactly what to do?

Txnat – Naked Social Share doesn’t include the open graph data to make the title, description, and photo appear. That’s the job of an SEO plugin, like Yoast or The SEO Framework.
Thanks @nosegraze
I installed Yoast and SEO wizard and activated them but still no change to how post appears on social media.
Apart from installing the plug in and clicking activate…How do I tell WP to pick up the blog title?

You have to insert your post URL here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ Then when the page refreshes you have to click the button to tell Facebook to scrape new data.
