    Hi everyone.
    I just updated my WP to 4.2.

    Now when I share a links to my posts (both by cut/pasting the link directly into my facebook page or by using my social media share buttons.)

    The preview of the post has all this weird coding in the body. Check out what i mean here. https://www.facebook.com/stopdietingstartmeditating

    I just switched to theme SeaSun could that have something to do with it?

    I tried going back to my old theme fara but i was still getting preview issues with that too.

    Help! a great preview can really make or break you in the sharing department.

    I’m a newbie too, so you really need to lay out how to fix this in simple steps.

    Try that theme’s designated support sub-forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/seasun

    the ‘weird coding’ seems to come from a meta og:description, maybe generated by a plugin (possibly made visible in connection with the new theme);

    start of the output:
    <meta property="og:description" content="pstyletextal.......etc....

    are you using any plugin for the meta?

    Thank you both for the timely response!

    @ Tara, thank you. I didn’t think to check the themes selection no one seemed to have this problem

    @alchymty Is Yoast WordPress SEO a meta plug in?? Because I am running that.

    I switched back to my old theme fava and re-created my posts from scratch then tried cutting/pasted my links into my facebook page. They worked perfectly. No weird coding. It also worked great when I used my social media plug to share too.
