og:description not getting shown

I have updated the og:description tag along with other tags for this page. The debugger shows this in the debugger but does not show it in the preview neither when I share it on Facebook. What could have gone wrong?

I had this same problem: everything looked good in the Sharing Debugger preview information (meaning all image and description info was showing as correct), but the "Link Preview" area did not show the "Description" excerpt for the page (just the image and title).

After some trial and error, I discovered the problem was in the Title: apparently Facebook has a limit of around 63 characters or so for the og:title property (I was dynamically fetching title data from the DB, and some titles ran long). Once I limited the length of the page title to a max no. of characters of around 63, everything was good!

Have you tried it like this?

<meta property="og:description" content="bla-bla"/>
