Hi!

I have installed AddtoAny on my site but there seems to be something wrong when I try to share a specific page on, for example, Facebook. The title and the link to the page are both correct but instead of getting the correct description for the page I get this:

" }; function nytt_wind2(url,sze,id,wdt) { //var document_base = ""; if(url.indexOf("http://") != 0) { nytt = window.open(url,id,"width="+wdt+",height="+sze+",scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes"); }else { nytt = window.open(url,id,"width="+wdt+",height=

The same problem also occurs when I use the Facebook Social-addon to share a page (I have disabled that module now however in favor of the AddtoAny-module). There are a few pages that does seem to get the right description though and I have tried to compare the codes between the pages that does work and the pages that doesn't but I can't seem to be able to find anything that might be wrong with the pages where the module doesn't fetch the correct description.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

// Jack

Title: AddToAny doesn't fetch the correct descripton when you share via Facebook » Facebook doesn't fetch the intended description when sharing to Facebook
Component: Code » Miscellaneous
Status: Active » Closed (works as designed)

Facebook doesn't accept a description from AddToAny. Instead Facebook crawls your site for into.
