Maybe you would do better to get in touch with Cyrus Shepard.

3. Re: Facebook 'Share' button OG data seems 'stuck' (won't change)
jyeager11 Jul 2, 2014 10:10 AM (in response to Ben Pleysier)- Facebook share button automatically populates the share pop-up window with article title, image and description provided in the page's <head> section.
- I modify the code to feature a new title, image and description, upload, and test out the share... but the only modification it's reflecting is the title. The image and description continue to be the old ones (even though there's no trace of either anywhere in the code anymore).
- As long as the url for the page remains the same, the title is the only thing that seems to reflect what I want when I hit that FB share button. The image and description, on the other hand, seem linked to the url somehow. They refuse to change as long as that url stays the same.
Clearly, Facebook is caching that information somewhere. I've wiped the code of all trace of the old description and image location, yet it continues to use them.
So the question is, where is it storing this info? On their own servers (where I can't edit it), in local cookies, or something else?
Thanks!

Your ISP usually has a free of charge web space allocated to you.
