I am trying to:

Have Facebook pull the Yoast Facebook or main meta description.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

Attached image or hidden link

I expected to see:

The Facebook meta description i put in the custom post.

Instead, I got:

The toolset shortcode text.

That is interesting, it seems on your very site the ShortCodes are executed fine, but when Facebook grasps them it's too soon and they are not yet expanded.

There are 2 possible tests you can do:
- Try to pull a post to Facebook without YOAST, as that Plugin is not 100% compatible with Toolset

https://toolset.com/errata/woocommerce-views-should-enforce-its-php-templates-as-late-as-possible/
- Try to use square brackets like [shortcode] and not {!{shortcode}!} (this is a compatibility syntax we use when page builders are used, and it fires later than the usual ShortCodes!)

Does this help?
