    Facebook 'Share' button OG data seems 'stuck' (won't change)

      I tried implementing the Facebook share button using the following recommended template (I don't have a link to share, but I am testing on a page that contains nothing but the cited reference code, with custom values replacing the defaults).

       

      But no matter what values I put in the meta open graph tags, the share keeps using old description and image info that I tested with over a week ago. Information that has since been replaced. In fact, there is no trace of this image or description anywhere on the server. But that share button still won't use the new info.

       

      I don't know much about this stuff, but it appears the open graph protocol used by Facebook saves the information for that share the first time it generates it. Either in a cloud, a cookie on the user end, or somewhere else... but it's definitely remembering old data even though new info is provided.

       

      Can someone tell me how to reset the info (esp. description) that appears when you use a Facebook share button located on your article page?
