I performed one more test.

1) No manually typed excerpt -> no problem
2) Manually typed excerpt -> Problem!
In the text that Facebook includes with shared links there is a clean and nice post header but then: <p>Excerpt text here</p><p><a class=”more-link btn”…

I can give you limited admin access for testing If you need, as we are only launching the site, and it’s not a bank 😀

Added information:

These paragraph tags can be seen on the image that Facebook fetches when it displays a shared link. Dont know how themes affect the preview image… but it isn’t pretty.

The excerpt text is ok. The shared link preview image has the problem I described. So what is given to Facebook when it asks for a preview image for a link is bad.

I can circumvent this problem in the plugin by “sharing a post” instead of a link so no majir problem.

If this is a feature, not a bug, then just ignore this report.
