    Hi, when I check the little box to “Post to Facebook” also, the comment doesn’t show up in my timeline.

    Thanks,

    Hi @dannybrown

    the comment doesn’t show up in my timeline.

    What do you mean by this? Please explain what you actually want.

    Thanks!

    Hi Sayan, screenshot attached. The comment after the post is one I originally posted earlier today on the blog.

    I checked the “post to Facebook” box, and an error box popped up with this message:

    View post on imgur.com

    The comment didn’t post to my profile. My wife didn’t get notification of the comment, either.

    My aim is to be able to post a comment on the blog (or have anyone else that wants to), and – if they also want it to appear on their Facebook profile, to ensure the “Post to Facebook” check box works.

    Thanks!

    Hi @dannybrown

    I see that you have many duplicates tags in your website head: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mentalhealthandme.ca%2Fdepression-in-numbers%2F

    Please try to fix this error: https://prntscr.com/mtclju by removing the duplicate tags

    Today I made a comment on my site and check “Also post on Facebook” and I do not have any error on my website. It works well without any error message.

    Thanks!

    Hi Sayan, thanks for this – sorry, not very tech at this. Is there something specific I should be doing? When you say “duplicate”, does that mean there’s duplicate open Graph I should be replacing?

    Note: I’m using Rank Math SEO, and I had to create an App ID for that. Is that duplicating things? Sorry, just confused over here. ??

    Hi

    Go to this URL: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mentalhealthandme.ca%2Fdepression-in-numbers%2F

    View this screenshot: https://prntscr.com/mto2fv. Here you can see the duplicate meta tags added to the head.

    Example: As you can see in that list, ‘og:url’ tag is repeated 3 times, You need to keep only one tag.

    Probably, RankMath, Social Warfare and another one plugin add this codes 3 times.

    Thanks!

    OK, thanks – I’ll see if I can work this out, as I’m totally confused (not your fault). My “dev” knowledge is very basic, and I set FB apps up based on the instructions of the plugin.

    I think I’ve removed the Rank Math and Social Warfare open graph info, but not sure. I can’t see anywhere else the open graph info would be repeated in a third plugin. ??

    Hi @dannybrown

    Social Warfare and RankMath have the option to remove that:

    Social Warfare: https://prntscr.com/mtoqi7
    Rank Math: Rank Math Menu > Titles & Meta

    But Another plugin which adds duplicate code to head but I could not identify it.

    My opinion is, keep Rank Math output enabled, otherwise it may harm your SEO. Disable Meta Tag output of Social Warfare and the other plugin.

    Thanks!

    Hmm, I think I may have found what it is. I have Rich Pins enabled on Pinterest, and I have to enter meta code on my site’s /head area:

    <head>
    <meta property=”og:type” content=”article” />
    <meta property=”og:title” content=”Mental Health and Me – Coping With Depression and Anxiety” />
    <meta property=”og:description” content=”Mental Health and Me is a journal about coping with depression and anxiety. Sign up to follow Jaclyn Brown’s journey as she shares her mental health story.” />
    <meta property=”og:url” content=”https://www.mentalhealthandme.ca/depression-in-numbers/&#8221; />
    <meta property=”og:site_name” content=”mentalhealthandme.ca” />
    <meta property=”article:published_time” content=”2019-02-28T00:09:30+00:00″ />
    <meta property=”article:author” content=”Jaclyn Brown” />
    </head>

    Will this be affecting it, as I can’t really remove that script, otherwise I lose Rich Pins.

    OK, so, now I don’t seem to be getting the previous error message, but it still won’t post comments to Facebook.

    Could you please tell me are you using any Plugin for Pinterest Rich Pins?

    <meta name=”p:domain_verify” content=”01efe67229dbc0b3bb3006648dfef37a”/><head><meta property=”og:type” content=”article” /><meta property=”og:title” content=”Mental Health and Me – Coping With Depression and Anxiety” /><meta property=”og:description” content=”Mental Health and Me is a journal about coping with depression and anxiety. Sign up to follow Jaclyn Brown’s journey as she shares her mental health story.” /><meta property=”og:url” content=”https://www.mentalhealthandme.ca/depression-in-numbers/&#8221; /><meta property=”og:site_name” content=”mentalhealthandme.ca” /><meta property=”article:published_time” content=”2019-02-28T00:09:30+00:00″ /><meta property=”article:author” content=”Jaclyn Brown” /></head>

    Remove this part form this code:

    <head><meta property="og:type" content="article" /><meta property="og:title" content="Mental Health and Me - Coping With Depression and Anxiety" /><meta property="og:description" content="Mental Health and Me is a journal about coping with depression and anxiety. Sign up to follow Jaclyn Brown's journey as she shares her mental health story." /><meta property="og:url" content="https://www.mentalhealthandme.ca/depression-in-numbers/" /><meta property="og:site_name" content="mentalhealthandme.ca" /><meta property="article:published_time" content="2019-02-28T00:09:30+00:00" /><meta property="article:author" content="Jaclyn Brown" /></head>

    This part is already added by Rank Math. So if you remove this you would not lose your rich pins.

    Thanks!

    No, I hard coded from Pinterest Validator instructions. Only alternative was Yoast plugin, but there’s a reason I’m using your plugin and not that one. ??

    So Rank Math adds that just by me adding my Pinterest username to the title meta settings?

    I’ll remove that part of the code and see if it works, thanks.
