# Problem w/facebook shared image

 * When I share my website on facebook, under the site title and site description
   there is the URL and next to it a | and then an author name from my site. The
   problem is, it’s not the author of the home page and I can’t find where that 
   author is coming from to change it. I have run it through the Facebook debugger
   several times, but the author name doesn’t change. Where is this coming from?

 * Please provide links to a few pages on your site that are not working.

 * The site is [http://www.core-ts.com/](http://www.core-ts.com/). It’s just the
   homepage that I’m sharing. I think what’s happening is that there are several
   blog posts on the homepage and it’s picking up their author, even though the 
   actual “home” page has a different author. Is that how it works?

 * Your theme is outputting author tags which Facebook is picking up to display.
   Please contact your theme developer for assistance removing the author tags from
   the homepage template.
 * The code looks like this:
    `By <span class="entry-author" itemprop="author" itemscope
   itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><a href="http://www.core-ts.com/author/coreblogger/"
   class="entry-author-link" itemprop="url" rel="author"><span class="entry-author-
   name" itemprop="name">Lawrence Ford</span></a></span>`
