title: Control Link Description of a Wordpress link shared on Facebook
body: <p>When we share a link directly on Facebook, and the link goes to a Wordpress blog, how can we control the text that Facebook will pull and use as the description for the shared link? Just go to facebook and paste or enter any Wordpress URL in, it will take the story of the first post on the front page as the description for that URL. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="description" content="&lt;?php echo get_bloginfo ( 'description' );  ?&gt;" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta property="og:description" content="&lt;?php echo get_bloginfo ( 'description' );  ?&gt;" /&gt;  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it still does not get the right description on Facebook. Yes, I've set description for my site on Wordpress. Yes, the description is show on the site when I view source.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
