The title of shared links displayed as urls

When I share new blogposts, sometimes the title of the post displays properly, and sometimes it is only displayed as an url. The posts are based on the exact same template, and i can find no differences in the code between the titles that work and ones that dont. All posts display the correct title when viewed in a browser window, and the facebook debugger finds the title for all the posts. however, i do recieve a warning about required property missing, og:title is required. same for type, image and url in the debugger

everything but the title displays properly when sharing links. Can anyone help with this? Thanks..

Can you show your code? Do you use OpenGraph meta tags? You can define exact title, description, image etc. to show in facebook using these tags.

<head>
<title>Page title</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Page title to show in Facebook"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.your.page.url.com/"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://path.to.your/image.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="Page description"/>
</head>

More here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/

Do not forget to add OpenGraph protocol support to your page:

<html xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#">
....
</html>
