    Buffer button enabled with Yoast SEO adds “buffer” to og:description but only where the post has no description field filled out in Yoast SEO. I am not sure why but Yoast SEO is seeing “Buffer” as the first word in the post when creating the description unless the description is overidden.

    Could it be an issue that the BUFFER code has the text Buffer between the tags where all the other buttons don’t have any text<a href="...">Buffer</a>

    <div class="really_simple_share_buffer" style="width:100px;"><a href="https://bufferapp.com/add" class="buffer-add-button" data-text="Pork and Vegetable Lo Mein (Egg-Free)" data-url="https://www.godairyfree.org/recipes/entrees/pork-and-vegetable-lo-mein-egg-free" data-count="horizontal">Buffer</a></div>

    It seems to work if I remove Buffer between the tags on line 357 in file really-simple-facebook-twitter-share-buttons.php

    $out .= '<a href="https://bufferapp.com/add" class="buffer-add-button" data-text="'.$title.'" data-url="'.$link.'" '.$option_layout.'>Buffer</a>';

    Replaced with:
    $out .= '<a href="https://bufferapp.com/add" class="buffer-add-button" data-text="'.$title.'" data-url="'.$link.'" '.$option_layout.'></a>';

    Hi,
    I’m removing the word “buffer” within the next plugin release (it comes with the official Buffer button, but it gets replaced by its own JS code), thanks for noticing the issue.
