Topic-icon Issue with facebook like postings only showing headings

Active Subscriptions:

When I "like" something on my site it only shows the title and a picture not some intro text. I am sure it's a relatively simple thing to fix but I can't find where to fix it.

Andrew,
You want to make sure that Open Graph descriptions are being set for your pages. JFBConnect will automatically use your meta description tags if they exist and you haven't specifically set Open Graph description tags on the page. If the OG description tag isn't set though, Facebook will generally try to 'guess' the best description, but sometimes will just leave it blank if other tags are set (they think you intentionally want it blank).

For more information on Open Graph settings, see:

Hope that helps,
Alex

I had tried a couple of things like including data in the meta description for the article first. I just tried using the the {JFBCGraph description=This is a test} tag inside an article to test it and it seemed to work. How big can an og:description be?

Andrew,
Not sure if you're still having this issue, and I apologize for the delay. By now, the tags definitely should have updated in Facebook's cache. If not, and you're still having trouble, let us know the URL of a page with the issue, and we can have a quick look.

Thanks,
Alex
