 * Hello,
    I’m writing this about a problem I’m having with sharing to Facebook 
   from my website. The sharing features work fine except for one thing: The text
   in the description in the dialogue box that pops up, and subsequently in the 
   person’s Facebook post, doesn’t reflect the text from the page I’m trying to 
   share. Instead it is some old piece of writing, that I can’t find in WordPress
   to edit. Any help in making the description reflect what is on the webpage would
   be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Antonella [http://www.krumvillebakeshop.com/](http://www.krumvillebakeshop.com/)

 * I think that Facebook is grabbing the content of your meta tags. Looks like you
   have the all in one seo plugin install. Just change the titles to what you want
   it to say.

 * Hi Christina, Thank you so much for the reply!
    I checked the SEO plugin and 
   the description that’s in there is not the one that’s coming up on the facebook
   share window, I wish it was! It there a way to change meta tags in wordpress?
   What else can I try to make the page contents reflect in the facebook post share?
   Best, Antonella

 * I found the the meta tags in the heather.php and edited the old description to
   a new one and saved everything. Still the same old text is showing up when I 
   try to FB share. Are there other meta tags locations I should be editing? I also
   disabled SEO plugin didn’t seam to work anyway.Any help would be appreciated.
   
   thanks again! Antonella

 * I took a quick look at the output one your site, and noticed you are suing the
   Facebook Open Graph protocol plugin, and that is not completely setup yet. That
   appears to be the problem.

 * Anyways, head over to the official FB debugging tool ([http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug](http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug)),
   and enter your URL. It will show you the Object Properties. Setting up Facebook
   Open Graph properly will take care of the issue.
