It does not seem to work. If I enter a custom message, a text generated by the system will still appear on Facebook. It concerns the following links on my website:

Sending the link to the Facebook post makes no sense because I’ve already modified the description here because I find the text generated by the system very ugly.

I hope you have enough information, because I have passed all this on to your colleague and I have little time to continue to do this continuously.

Thanks for your response. I use the wp-admin with Gutenberg blocks. I posted from my Mac Mini (latest macos version via Safari and from a Windows laptop (also latest version Windows 10, 2004 build) via Edge / Chrome. I was not using the mobile app.

I noticed today that when I posted and manually added the publicize text, the title of the article in this case, it was not posted but much of the text was posted as I showed you earlier via screenshots.

I just created a message as a test, filled everything in and recommended a custom test at publicize (article title). I saved the article as a draft and posted it after a few minutes. After publishing, it is not the custom text (article title) but again the long text that is known to you.

If I can make a suggestion; I always fill in the summary for posts in WordPress. This summary will then appear on the RSS feed page for articles. Why don’t you use this summary as a description for Facebook? This seems much more logical to me.

Personally I like to have the article title on Twitter with a link (summary card) and on Facebook I prefer to have my own completed summary with a link snippet.

No, I haven’t updated anything. The link you received was not modified after publication.

I just published a post that should remain on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/112.vlissingen.souburg/posts/2050590338404874

I did not change anything in Publicize. As I said before, the title of the post is filled in by default and that is enough for me. As you can see the post on Facebook is completely different and the title is not displayed but a complete piece of the text along with a link.

I hope you can fix this as it is quite annoying. Thanks in advance!

As soon as I post an article on Facebook I will send the link. You can view it.

Only I have the idea that you do not fully understand me. It is very difficult to explain, but the screenshots above indicate the problem perfectly. In publicize via Gutenberg the post title is always standard. When I do not change it, the title and a link on Facebook, but a long part of the text, comes together with a link. If I remove the post title in publicize and again type exactly the same title, the title and a link will end up on Facebook.

I find this very strange because if you do not change anything in publicize by default, the title and link should also appear in Facebook, but that does not happen.

When I edit the publicize message, the text will appear on Facebook as I entered it. Only for me that is the strange thing. Because if you do not change anything, the post title is always the default. When you publish something it comes like the image that I sent you above. But when I manually add the exact same title again, only the title will appear on Facebook and not as you can see in the picture.

Isn’t that a bit weird? You would think this is a bug because the post title is filled in by default, so it should also grab publicize but publicize doesn’t.

This is actually as it should be and if I manually add the title again: https://ibb.co/jMBbmwS

This is a bit tricky. Our page has a lot of likes and therefore we cannot just post a message and leave it for a long time. I don’t know if you can reproduce this yourself? it is very easy; link a Facebook page to Jetpack publicize. Create a new post, check in Gutenberg if the title is filled in at Publicize and do not change it. You will see that almost the entire post is posted.

Here a link to a screenshot of a post that we quickly removed after testing:https://ibb.co/88vDtDN
