twitter:domain

    According to Twitter’s Card Validator tool, twitter:domain isn’t only not required, but it’s a restricted field.

    “RESTRICTED – twitter:domain will be automatically generated from your card’s URL.”

    I suggest this option be removed from your plugin in a future update to avoid confusion. Furthermore, the plugin is using the following, which is incorrect:

    $output .= '<meta name="twitter:domain" content="' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ). '"/>'."\n";

    If anything, the plugin should be spitting out the domain (ex. @google.com), not the blog name.

    Hi, sorry I got a lot of work. Be patient please ^^.

    That is not incorrect, it’s better for marketing value, a name instead an URL which is already present in the card.

    I’ll check for this field anyway in the next update, thanks for suggesting.

    Thanks for your response, jmlapam. I disagree, though.

    The domain field should not be returning the blog name. It should be returning a domain name. I’ve checked several sites that use Twitter Card meta and they all have “@domainname.com” for twitter:domain.

    Plus, Twitter has now restricted that field and it should be removed from the plugin. Twitter now automatically generates the data.
