      Not sure if they are related, but I had to face lot of problem (that persisted for more than a week) when the Facebook Share button stopped working correctly for me. Instead of fetching the page URL the share button would display a facebook sharer link and no title or link whatsoever!

      At first, I thought it was a problem with my Share button and tried replacing with other codes but nothing worked.

      However, everything returned back to normal 3 days back.
