Looks like Facebook disabled passing parameters to the sharer.

We have changed the behavior of the sharer plugin to be consistent with other plugins and features on our platform.

The sharer will no longer accept custom parameters and facebook will pull the information that is being displayed in the preview the same way that it would appear on facebook as a post from the url OG meta tags.

Here's the URL to the post: https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/357750474364812/

It seems that the only parameter that allows you to inject custom text is the  quote    https   www facebook com sharer sharer php u THE URL amp quote THE CUSTOM TEXT

The only parameter you need right now is  u  lt YOUR URL gt   All other data will be fetched from page or  better  from your open graph meta tags    lt meta property  og url                 content  http   www nytimes com 2015 02 19 arts international when-great-minds-dont-think-alike html    gt   lt meta property  og type                content  article    gt   lt meta property  og title               content  When Great Minds Don   t Think Alike    gt   lt meta property  og description         content  How much does culture influence creative thinking     gt   lt meta property  og image               content  http   static01 nyt com images 2015 02 19 arts international 19iht-btnumbers19A 19iht-btnumbers19A-facebookJumbo-v2 jpg    gt    Example  amp  description here  You can test your page for accordance in the debugger

I ve used the below before  and it has worked  It isn t very pretty  but you can alter it to suit your needs   The following JavaScript function grabs the location href  amp  document title for the sharer  and you can ultimately change these   function fbs click             u location href          t document title  window open  http   www facebook com sharer php u   encodeURIComponent u    amp t   encodeURIComponent t                    sharer                    toolbar 0 status 0 width 626 height 436                 return false              Usage    lt a rel  nofollow  href  http   www facebook com share php u  lt  url gt   onclick  return fbs click    target   blank  gt      Share on Facebook  lt  a gt    It looks like this is what you could possibly be looking for  Facebook sharer title   desc
