Well, I thought I had the problem solved, but after trying to share my "homepage," I saw that Bubble Man is still hanging around my web-site! If you've ever tried sharing your WordPress posts or pages on Facebook, you'll know what I mean... And, if you haven't read my first post https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/msmoneyhoney/blog/..., please do, and this will make even more sense...
Ok, back to the topic.
As mentioned, I thought I was all set and solved that problem a long while ago. But, when I tried sharing just my homepage, I ran into "him" again. So, I set out on another mission... and I'll try to steer clear of violent language... by stating the "real" mission. :) ...cue the shower scene music...
I began searching for anything related to Facebook share, Facebook image share, etc. and I finally came across a member's post which FINALLY addressed "where to go" to change the settings for the HOME Page!
Here's a Shout Out to this member: Arief Wibowo, and you can read her post here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/ariefwibowo/blog/p...
So, now, I knew where to go and what settings to change.

Unfortunately, however, after staying up all night and trying this and trying that to get rid of this thing, I finally just Googled my "issue." And, here's what I found:

The bottom line is - this is some sort of compatibility issue between the plug-in and Facebook. It could also be a compatibility problem with a specific theme, or social share button plug-ins. Reading the comments, it has happened to many other people, and it was nothing I was necessarily doing wrong.
So, I gave up for the night, and decided to wait for Facebook's "cache" to update seven days from now. We'll see if any of my changes took effect.
Right now, he still looms...
If anyone already has a "work-around" or "guaranteed" solution to this problem, I'd like to hear from you!

In the meantime, I'll update the results in about a week.
