Home › Forums › Gillion Theme › Facebook sharing – edit text
Hi
Thanks for your assistance in other matters.
I have a question relating to how posts are summarized when one clicks the “facebook share” button. For some reason the text has the title and then author details and time details but they are written in a manner that would not make sense to a general site visitor. I have highlighted this text and the share button involved in the attached images.
The style and content of the other share button results seem fine.
Hi @amudalainc,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
You can change that text using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ as described on the following page.

After using the plugin and making changes, Please test it clearing facebook cache from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Hi
I have taken a look at this information and it is brilliant, but the change that I would like will cost $89. Do you know of an alternative?
Thanks again
No the plugin is free of cost which you can get from here https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/
Solution for this topic
Thanks heaps for the assistance. I have chosen to pay for the premium version as the free version does not allow for editting of the look/feel of facebook posts.
You are most welcome here 🙂
