Force Facebook to re-scrape/update your posts with the latest data from your website

Problem:
This is just a quick post to tell users how to force Facebook to re-scrape a post they have already made that has had amendments that are not being reflected in post updates.  For example if you have updated your ‘Featured Image’ but Facebook is still looking at the old one you need to do the following.

Solution:
The solution is easy just visit https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/ and then type/paste in the URL of the link you want to include in your Facebook post and click Debug.

The Facebook will show the last Time Scraped, you just need to click Scrape Again to force Facebook to pick up the latest data from your website.
