Troubleshooting Shared Content Issues on Facebook

There are two reasons why you might be experiencing issues while sharing your content on Facebook

1. Document Not Available

To solve this problem follow below steps:

1. Go to the post on Facebook
2. From the dropdown menu inside the post, select REFRESH SHARE ATTACHMENT
3. Choose SAVE in the bottom right hand corner
4. If this doesn’t resolve your problem, remove the post from Facebook, then use Facebook debug tool to clear the cache
5. Enter the Issuu document URL, select DEBUG and then FETCH NEW SCRAPE INFORMATION or SCRAPE AGAIN
6. Clear your browser cache and history, then restart your browser
7. Finally, repost the document on Facebook

2. Improper URL

Another reason your content may not be showing up on Facebook is because the URL ends with underscore ( _) . If the content is not yours, try reaching out to the publisher to make them aware of the problem by sharing this article. If the content is yours, please follow below steps:  

1. Change the filename of your content so it does not end with underscore
2. Delete the old version from Issuu and upload as a new publication
3. Once the new publication is ready on Issuu, go back and follow one of the two sharing methods at the top of this article
