 Hello, Since the update for wordpress 5.1 the following has happened:

 We have the following website: www.truthinmydays.com. I have had the
 following issue very recently:

 When ever I copy and paste any URL for a post on Facebook, Whatsapp etc
 the preview always shows the following a different URL from the URL posted
 (E.g., www.examplewebsite.com/A is posted, but the preview always shows
 www.examplewebsite.com/B). I did not have an additioanl SEO plugin and
 this issue did not seem to have occured due to that). The web address that
 keeps previewing is:
 https://truthinmydays.com/gigo-unearthing-a-decisive-new-tipping-point-
 for-textual-criticism/#Introduction

 I have done some research and tried scrapeing the chache on facebook, but
 it does not change anything thing and continues to remain the same. It
 seems its more of an issue with the website/update. I would appreciate any
 help.  Also, I have noted that the Canonical URL is always:
 https://truthinmydays.com/gigo-unearthing-a-decisive-new-tipping-point-
 for-textual-criticism/#Introduction


 Could you please help me with this?

 Thank you,
