Change from meta name to meta property

  • For: https://coachrubarcelona.com/text/1402/registratsiya-20-10-2016/
    facebook og debugger complains in the following way:

    Warnings That Should Be Fixed
    ? Meta with name instead of property
    ? The meta tag on the page was specified with name ‘author’, which matches a configured property of this object type. It will be ignored unless specified with the meta property attribute instead of the meta name attribute.

    Obviously, this traces back to the following entry in the html:
    <meta name=”author” content=”Ирина Фьелльнер Патлах”/>

    Which, in turn is enabled on the page SEO tags settings of Facebook Open Graph, Google+ and Twitter Card Tags (2.0.3).
    Option: Include Post/Page Author name

    Suggested changes (If you believe facebook debugger is correct about this…):
    options-page-seo.php:66
    <i><meta name=”author” content=”…”/></i>
    –> <i><meta property=”author” content=”…”/></i>

    class-webdados-fb-open-graph-public.php:612
    …<meta name=”author” content=… –> <meta property=”author” content=

  • Hi there @tobifjellner

    Thanks for your post.

    We are aware of this Facebook warning, but we no not think it’s problematic.
    <meta name="author" content="..."/> it’s a regular meta tag. It’s not a Open Graph one.

    We are also setting the proper <meta property="article:author" content="..."/> so, again, we do not believe it’s an issue.

    We’ve tested your URL and we recommend you to activate the “Include Post/Page Author” on the Facebook section of the settings page.

    You should then go to each user profile on your website and fill in the Facebook profile URL.

    You will then have a clickable author name:

    Instead of just your name:
