Take a look at the results in the Facebook Debugger:

This article can explain the problem a bit better than I can.

I use Yoast’s SEO plugin to fix the issue, although there are lots of Facebook thumbnail plugins out there that will also fix the problem.

OK, so right now that bit of code pulls the blog title. If you don’t want to add text to the blog title in the General Settings page, you can remove that code and replace it with whatever it is you want to say. For example:

<p><a href="https://www.southhollandlife.com/">This is really what Simon_a6 wants to say.</a></p>

If you’re trying to remove the info on the left side of the footer, that appears to be located in the footer.php. Look for the code immediately after:

<div class="copyright six columns">

In the original Leaf theme, the code that pulls the blog title is:

<?php esc_attr_e('&copy;', 'leaf'); ?> <?php _e(date('Y')); ?> <a href="<?php echo home_url('/') ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(get_bloginfo('name', 'display')); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>

You can change the title in Settings–>General–>Site Title. Or you can remove that code and replace it with what you want.

What is your site link? That would help a lot.

Go to Appearance–>Editor. Select footer.php. Look for this code:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://fatboythemes.com/themes/leaf/', 'leaf' ) ); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Leaf Theme', 'leaf' ); ?>"><?php printf( __('Leaf Theme', 'leaf')); ?></a>
					<?php printf( __( 'powered by', 'leaf' )); ?>
					<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __('https://www.ads-software.com/', 'leaf')); ?>" title="<?php esc_attr_e('WordPress', 'leaf'); ?>"><?php printf( __('WordPress', 'leaf')); ?></a>

Replace it with whatever you want.

Have you tried it in the text editor?

I avoid the Visual editor, as it can mess up formatting. God forbid you use it with tables!

It appears to be working now. If you would share your solution, you might help others with a similar problem.

I have not yet experienced any problems with automatic updates. I find them useful because they protect my sites. Most minor updates are bug fixes and security patches, which make your site more secure.

You might try going to the support forum for this premium theme.

If you use a commercial theme and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations. Doing this will provide the developer with the income they need to make WordPress awesome.

Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

Look search for a FB image plugin. Something like this, although I’ve never used it… it’s just the first one that came up for me:

You need the Simple Custom CSS plugin. After you install it, add this:

body {
	color: #333;
}

…Where the value after “color:” is the color you want. If you don’t know the code for the color you want, see this link:

It seems to be working now.

Please consider sharing your solution on how you got it working, as you may assist others who are having the same problem.
