If you’re looking for some help, it’s important to provide as much context as possible so that people are able to assist you. Try to always mention:

- What’s your URL? [https://www.communicationaccess.ninja/top-5-things-agencies-look-for-in-freelance-interpreters/](https://www.communicationaccess.ninja/top-5-things-agencies-look-for-in-freelance-interpreters/)
- What version of Ghost are you using? newest
- What configuration?
- What browser? tried in Chrome and FF
- What errors or information do you see in the console?
- What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? try and copy and paste into FB and it only renders a link, no image & no text.

I have checked the social media customizations and the preview renders correctly. i have made no changes on the back end to any templates. It’s using default theme.

This happens when you try to share a URL before it has been given an image or text - Facebook caches the structured data (or lack of it) so that nothing appears when it’s shared again in future. To get Facebook to re-fresh its data, change the slug/url of your post and try sharing that instead.

This is a Facebook issue, so there’s nothing that can be done in Ghost to prevent it, unfortunately.
