You are correct. On the debug, it updates automatically. Is this normal procedure? Should it be more automatic?

here is one that has not debugged yet: www.evervolveusa.com/doyouevervolve/inde...-derek-laplante.html

Thanks, Glenn

Also, how would I go about changing the og:description length? It seem rather short right now.

Facebook should start automatically updating their information after a few days. However, they prioritize updates by how frequently your page is viewed and shared. If your site is brand new, it's very possible to take a week (or more) for the pages to be re-crawled by Facebook. The Debug Tool, again, should update specific pages for you that are key to get right, now.

As for the description length, you'd need to create a new Open Graph Object for the Joomla category (or parent category) that you want a longer description. Give the "type" a value of "article", call it a Built-In Facebook object. Those are good default values. Then, on the right side, you can change the automatic Open Graph settings for image and description length for each item in those categories.

Hope that helps, but if you need more help, just let us know,

Glenn,
I can see where the confusion came in. You actually want to create the object for K2 Items, not K2 Categories. The K2 Category object will set the information when you're in a category view. The K2 Item object will set the Open Graph information when you're viewing each individual article/item in K2. In the settings, you'll be able to set the categories that the object works for and the options will work for each Item/Article view within that category.

Hope that makes sense, but if not, as always, just let us know!

Thanks,
Alex
