Currently I have my gallery placed in my K2 article. However when I attempt to share the article link to facebook. Because the gallery is located at the top of the post, the description becomes the message below instead of my K2 article's text.

"View the embedded image gallery online at: mydomain.com/dine-drink/item/412-macdonalds-test#sigProGalleriaf503d38ebb Print of..."

How can I actually fix that? I would like to remove that message.

A link to your gallery page would be helpful.

Here's a link to my gallery. It normally appears in a pop up but that doesn't matter in this case.

sg.greatwalldeals.com/dine-drink/item/412-macdonalds-test

If you share that link to facebook or just share it thru the like button on that article, you will see it appears as...

"Limited time only! Save $1.95 during this special launch promo
  View the embedded image gallery online at: sg.greatwalldeals.com/dine-drink/item/412-macdonalds-test#sigProGalleriaf503d38ebb Print of..."

Could you be more specific?
The gallery will display in the joomla site but not in Facebook etc.

I have been quite specific in both my topic and previous reply that I get the message when Sharing to Facebook.

Would this make it more clear? The text are found nowhere in my article but is being picked up by Facebook because the gallery is at the top of the article. I would like to have that text removed so my article intro can be there.

Update:
With some digging, I found the problem lies with this code.
<div class="sigProPrintMessage">
	View the embedded image gallery online at:
	<br><a title="Limited time only! Save .95 during this special launch promo" href="http://sg.greatwalldeals.com/dine-drink/item/412-macdonalds-test#sigProGalleriaf503d38ebb">http://sg.greatwalldeals.com/dine-drink/item/412-macdonalds-test#sigProGalleriaf503d38ebb</a>
</div>

<!-- JoomlaWorks "Simple Image Gallery Pro" Plugin (v2.5.7) ends here -->

Managed to remove it by doing a template overwrite and commenting out this code in /html/jw_sigpro/galleria/default.php
<?php/** if($itemPrintURL): ?>
<div class="sigProPrintMessage">
	<?php echo JText::_('JW_SIGP_PLG_PRINT_MESSAGE'); ?>:
	

	<a title="<?php echo $row->title; ?>" href="<?php echo $itemPrintURL; ?>"><?php echo $itemPrintURL; ?></a>
</div>
<?php endif;  */?>

That removed the embedded image gallery message. However... the &amp;nbsp;  is still there and I can't seems to remove it.. seems to be a leftover from somewhere... or because of the gallery tag.

Update: AH! Found the last culprit. Still in default.php, I removed &nbsp; in there and that solved the problem. Now facebook scrape the url properly and return with just my article text.
</li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		<li class="sigProClear">&nbsp;</li>

Hope this helps whoever has the same problem!
