    Hi Rui

    Where are you posting that to? Is that Facebook? From the looks of things that description is coming from the WordPress comment form. My guess is that it sees the class description and it’s guessing that is a description for the page.

    I see you do have a plugin installed that’s giving you Open Graph description tags, which Facebook should be using properly. Are you still getting this issue now?

    Hi Greg. Thanks for your feedback.

    Still the same. Just did now: http://prntscr.com/4kee8o

    Any ideas on what I can do to fix it ?

    Thanks

    Hi Rui

    Which Open Graph plugin are you using? Perhaps give this one a shot?

    WordPress SEO also has functionality that can assist with formatting in this regard:

    If you’re testing the same page, it’s possible that the old description is being cached by Facebook. You can use the Facebook Debugger to force it to refresh the Open Graph tags.

    Just enter your URL, then click Debug, then click Fetch New Scrape Information.
