Fixing problems with Facebook shared URLs

    I'm having issues with the link for my most recent hub.

    If I copy and paste the link into a search bar, it does indeed to go my hub, but when I pasted it onto Facebook to share with my friends, the image and hub description that came up were not for my hub.

    Interestingly enough, if you click on the link, the picture, or the description on Facebook it still takes you to my hub, but I want my own hub's image and description to show on Facebook rather than this other random one.

    I've never had an issue like this before, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue.

      It sounds like you may be trying to share a Hub before it has passed the QAP and is featured.
      There is info in the FAQ here.

          The FAQ I linked above has this information as well, but if this occurs, you can force a recheck of the URL here.
