    I just made a new blog post and when I click on share with facebook, it is not picking up the excerpt, site title or description. However old posts seem to be working fine. I am not able to figure how :S

    This is my new post : http://blog.iavin.com/2013/12/my-ipad-air-first-impressions-pictures-and-review/

    and this is the old one which is fine : http://blog.iavin.com/2012/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-ms-in-us-gre/

    I have not changed anything since the old post. And I just checked, if I make new post and put some content it is working fine. But only for the first link I mentioned it is not working.

    How do I fix it?

    EDIT : I just changed the URL to http://blog.iavin.com/2013/12/ipad-air-first-impressions-pictures-and-review/ now it is working. But any idea it was not working earlier?

    Hello, I had a similar problem with opengraph parsing done by Facebook, when trying to share a page. Even though the opengraph tags were proper, it wouldn't show their content in the sharing box.

    So I went here (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), entered the page address with the content I wanted to share and hit Debug. The next moment when I tried to share the page, it was parsing the tags properly.

    I tried your address/page in the debugging tool and it shows an error related to your og:image tag (it's empty). You should include an URL there and try again. For more information on the opengraph article object (the one your posts are using), read here (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/object-type/article).
