When you share a WordPress post on Facebook it looks something like this, depending on your share settings. You’ll notice that it grabs some of the text and puts it into the body of the post, and then it shows a preview of the post.
If you notice a spelling error in the body, it’s fixable just by clicking ‘Edit Post’ but if it’s in the preview of the post, it’s not as easy. If it’s in the body, just fix the spelling error, then go back and fix the spelling error in your original WordPress post, and you don’t have to worry about refreshing.
However, if the error is in the preview of the post (in the excerpt it shows at the bottom) or maybe it pulled the wrong image, or no image, you have to refresh to fix it.
First, go back to your original WordPress post and fix the error. The spelling mistake or the excerpt or the image. Whatever the issue was, correct it, and then click Update.
Then, go back to Facebook and click on the timestamp of the post right under the name to get to the individual post page.
Once you’re on the individual page, click on the three dots in the top right of the post. This will bring you a list of some more options, one of which is ‘Refresh Share Attachment’.
When you click on Refresh Share Attachment it will show you a preview of the refreshed share. If the error is still there, it might just be because it’s too soon and it hasn’t been able to register the change yet, so wait a little longer and then try it again. But, if you do see the error is fixed, just click Save and that’s it!
