text when linking on facebook

Post by ps76 »

When I put a link to my website onto a facebook group, it shows a picture - thats okay - together with the webadresse, "granvista.dk" and "index". How/where do I change the "index" word to something meaningful? It does not change if I change in the page properties ("title" or "menu name"). So it must be somewhere else?

Maybe the page name is 'index'?

yes. But is that not a requirement for publishing correctlyh, that the first page is named "index" ?

Your website must have an index page, otherwise the server will not have landing page.
So, it is a requirement.

yes, so I cannot rename the page if it is called "index", right? Thats why I asked where to change the text, so that it does now show index but something about the product in stead.

You can rename the page, but your website will most likely no longer work properly (unrelated to WWB).

Thanks, Crispy - that debugger tool actually cleaned away the index word and replaced it with what I had put in the page name. Seems to work okay now. Thanks.
