Facebook finding tags in body instead of head

    I’ve been using your plugin on my site (www.upc.fm) for some time now and it has been working perfectly, however I recently added Google Ads to my header code and ever since then the Facebook debugger has been telling me that “Your page has meta tags in the body instead of the head.” I double checked and the plugin code is still in the header so I’m unsure what the problem is. Any suggestions?

    Well my plugin is working fine. If you view your source you can see after your closing body tag that another plugin is putting met and og: tags at the end. That’s bad. Figure out what plugin is doing that and remove it or contact the plugin dev.

    I’ve taken care and removed the met tags that were at the end of the source code however the Facebook debugger is still giving me the same error.

    Well your source looks good… but when you use the debugger and say “See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL” this is what it shows: https://i.imgur.com/gbSxqBY.png

    You have a body tag waaay at the top and all your wp_head info is in the body. No idea how that happened but it’s highly unlikely it’s my plugin.

    I’d suggest turning off all your plugins, turn them on one at a time and debug it… see which one does it. Even try debugger w/o any plugins on. Could be something in your theme. At this point there’s a lot of things that could be wrong. You need to bug test everything and see when it happens.

    Also weird is FB see’s your canonical url as

    https://www.ufc.com/?id

    instead of https://www.ufc.com/

    So… something is really messed up on your theme / plugins.

    Good luck!

    Yep, you’re right it’s not your plugin. I’ve managed to narrow it down to the <center></center> tags I put around my Google Ad code in my header… For some reason they create the <body> tag we’re seeing.
