 * I am using Twenty Eleven theme with 3.2.1
 * When I post a link from my site on facebook in the description it produces a 
   bunch of html as the description instead of a description of the page.
 * Here is a screen print of the issue: [http://quicklol.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wp-bug.jpg ](http://quicklol.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wp-bug.jpg)
 * The text in the description always reads:
 * You may use these HTML tags and attributes: a href=”” title=”” abbr title=”” 
   acronym title=”” b blockquote cite=”” cite code del datetime=”” em i q cite=””
   strike strong – i removed the brackets because it was messing up the thread.
 * Please can someone tell me why this is happening and how to stop it?
 * No one even bothered to reply to my post last time…

 * Thanks for nothing ppl who read this and said nothing… so pathetic. I looked 
   all over the internet and people were recommending plug ins and all sorts to 
   fix this problem. Is everyone really that thick… :/ ??
 * Anyway after giving it some thought I solved the problem.
 * For anyone else who needs help; facebook uses the meta tag description for the
   site description when linking (pretty obvious really and a silly thing for me
   to overlook). You can use a plugin such as headspace to add in your meta tag 
   description data easily and this will solve the problem and also help with SEO
   as Google will use these tags too to show in the SERPS. You may be able to do
   this without a plugin but I am a WP noob so am not sure. Headpace is a really
   nice plugin though so give it a go if you’re not sure either. Good luck I hope
   this helps 🙂
 * Now I must make meta descriptions for 140 pages 🙁
