Title and intro text in Facebook description? 9 Months ago Karma: 0
Hello!

Here´s my problem:
When linking an article from my website (www.spionen.se) to facebook, I would like the link to include the title of the article and the intro (text before "read more"). As of right now I only get my website name and the url (wich seem to be correct). The question is:How do I change this?. I´ve been going through the manual but as I´m not used to php, I feel a bit lost here:-)?

Any help is welcome!
Thanks

Stefan M

If you want the intro text automatically included in Facebook (or Digg) submissions, you have to complete the metadata section in the article editor when you first write the article. Digg and Facebook will detect the metadata automatically and include it in your submission. So, just cut and paste the article intro into the Description field of the metadata form field and it should appear in your facebook submission.

Chris is right, this plugin doesn't control that. Facebook automatically scans your submitted page and gets that info directly from your metadata.

Thanks for replying Chris.

I don't know, maybe because it's a different language. Contact Facebook because it's their site that can't read your page.
