Copying post url does not work properly

    I advertise my blog regularly on Facebook by copying the post url. Normally the first few lines of the post will come up along with several pictures to choose from. Last week the first few lines of the post did not show when I copied the url to FB. Instead, I got the key words for that post, so I had to delete it. All attempts to copy the url were met with the same problem. Yesterday I changed the SEO title to a post and recopied the link to FB, but the old title still kept appearing even though I emptied my cache several times. This morning when I tried to copy a url to FB, neither a description, or any pictures came up. I updated WordPress yesterday. This is my latest post:

    Hi, first I would suggest that you use some of Open Graph plugins (this one worked fine for me: http://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-ographr/). That way you can specify exactly what is title, description and thumbnail of shared content (it will appear right on FB pages).

    Second – FB caches exploration results. So if you wanted to share it once – it will be cached (mistake cannot be corrected). BUT if you go to this page: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
    and paste again same URL – results should be refreshed.

    Hope it helps.
