Incorrect title and description in Facebook link, but only for homepage

I am new to Smugmug, so I am probably doing something stupid here...

I have set up my Site Meta Title and Homepage Meta Description in Account>Discovery>Search.

If I view the source code for my homepage, or look at the scraped URL using the Facebook developers tool, I confirm that these are correctly inserted in my homepage code as follows:

<title>Photography by Stephen Underwood</title>
<meta name="description" content="African wildlife photography from the Masai Mara in Kenya. By Stephen Underwood."/>

However, the homepage code still includes the 'default' open graph code, and these are what appear when I try to set up a link to my homepage in Facebook:

<meta property="og:title" content="Stephen Underwood">
<meta property="og:description" content="Powered by SmugMug">

I have forced an update for my homepage using 'Fetch New Scrape Information' in the Facebook tool, but nothing changes.

In contrast, the og:title and og:description for my galleries are correctly pulled from the gallery titles and descriptions. Links of my galleries to Facebook show this correct information.

So, can anyone tell me how to lose the 'default' open graph code from my homepage ?

If it matters, I am using a custom domain (stephenunderwood.com). However, reverting to stephenunderwood.smugmug.com did not solve my problem.

Many thanks,
Steve

    We really need to clean these up so they all pull from the same place, however, the og:description is being pulled from your "Profile" and not from your Account Settings "Site Meta Title" and "Description."

    To set these, go to the user menu (it's that icon in the upper right that has a silhouette of a person, or your bio photo), and then choose "Edit Profile". Make sure "Display Name" and "Description" are set.
