Publicize to facebook – edit what’s posted

Hi @alanm04

Are you referring to the title/link in the automatic excerpt or custom message that Publicize posts as the status, or do you mean it appears in the post preview Facebook generates itself?

If it’s the first, that is how Publicize currently works, and the only way to prevent it would be to share your links on Facebook manually instead, but we are looking into maybe changing that in future:

If it’s the second, it’s possible the Open Graph tags on your site are not set properly and have a URL in the og:description. OG tags are lines Jetpack or another plugin adds to your site that gives services like Facebook some information about your posts they can use to decide how to display them.

It’s possible another plugin is setting OG tags that are overriding Jetpack’s. You can find some information on how to prevent that here:
