[Plugin: SEO by Yoast] Open Graph not working with Facebook

I have the same problem, yoast is puting a ‘ into the meta property i.e

<meta property=’og:url’ content=’https://www.cocoonfxmedia.co.uk/Blog/’/&gt;

Should be :
<meta property=”og:url” content=”https://www.cocoonfxmedia.co.uk/Blog/”&gt;

Also it defaults to us_EN as well when we
<meta property=’og:locale’ content=’en_US’/>

This should then give you the correct location.
<meta property=”og:locale” content=”en_GB”>

Please advise ASAP how to fix the Open Graph issue.

Go to the plugin folder for Yoast SEO (called wordpress-seo)

Open the frontend directory, and you will find the file called “class-opengraph”

You can modify the php code where instead of a single quote ( ‘ ), you can use a double quote through escaping mechanism. Here is an example:

/**
	 * Display an OpenGraph image tag
	 *
	 * @param string $img Source URL to the image
	 *
	 * @return bool
	 */
	private function image_output( $img ) {
		if ( empty( $img ) )
			return false;

		$img = trim( apply_filters( 'wpseo_opengraph_image', $img ) );
		if ( !empty( $img ) ) {
			if ( strpos( $img, 'http' ) !== 0 ) {
				if ( $img[0] != '/' )
					return false;

				// If it's a relative URL, it's relative to the domain, not necessarily to the WordPress install, we
				// want to preserve domain name and URL scheme (http / https) though.
				$parsed_url = parse_url( home_url() );
				$img        = $parsed_url['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed_url['host'] . $img;
			}

			if ( in_array( $img, $this->shown_images ) )
				return false;

			array_push( $this->shown_images, $img );

			echo "<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"" . esc_url( $img ) . "\"/>\n";
			return true;
		}

	}

I am having this same problem. No matter what I try – I can’t get a title, image or description passed to Facebook even though the Open Graph information is there.

This is what my header info looks like using Yoast SEO:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@https://twitter.com/1houseofpeace"/>
<meta name='twitter:image' content='https://i1.wp.com/onehouseofpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Tender-Holding.jpg?fit=300%2C300'/>
<meta name="twitter:description" content="In allowing ourselves to fully experience pain, in being with it with presence and compassion, we embrace the lessons we are here to learn. We grow."/>
<meta property='og:locale' content='en_US'/>
<meta property='fb:admins' content='1637053757'/>
<meta property='og:title' content='Tender Holding -- the Grace of Being with Pain | One House of Peace'/>
<meta property='og:description' content='In allowing ourselves to fully experience pain, in being with it with presence and compassion, we embrace the lessons we are here to learn. We grow.'/>
<meta property='og:url' content='https://onehouseofpeace.org/tender-holding-the-grace-of-being-with-pain/'/>

<!-- / Yoast WordPress SEO plugin. -->

I am using Jetpack as my social share plugin and am using the code from Yoast’s website to disable the OG tags from Jetpack.

I have deactivated all the other plugins besides Jetpack and Yoast SEO and it still didn’t work.

What am I missing?

This is what it looks like when I try to share to FB: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4rujjd5q23uslnq/fb_screen_shot.tiff

I just fixed this for myself. I found the solution in another post.

I simply had to remove the trailing slash after my custom permalink and it works perfectly now.

Witch triling slash ?? give us some more info.

I wen’t to: Settings > Permalinks

I had custom permalinks set and it looked like this: example.com/%postname%/

I changed it to this: example.com/%postname%

By deleting the trailing slash. That’s it.

I went to: Setting > Permalinks

I had custom permalinks set and it looked like this: example.com/%postname%/

I deleted the trailing slash so now it looks like this: example.com/%postname%

That’s it.

I went to Setting > Permalinks

I had a custom permalink set and it looked like this: example.com/%postname%/
I changed it to: example.com/%postname%

by deleting the trailing slash at the end. That’s it.

It’s not working for me :(( I changed the permalinks and nothing changes when i try to post an article into facebook. my web is predlagamfilm.hol.es
take a look pls.

Tnx !

Can you confirm that you actually have the Open Graph settings set up correctly within Yoast SEO?

Also, I am using Jetpack Share so I also had to add a function to my functions file that disables Jetpacks Open Graph Tags (just google: disable jetpack open graph).

If you’re using some other share plugin than there may be another conflict.

I gonna explain you my case.

Everything was working OK before i update the plugin.

I try a couple of things.

Changing the template – not work
Reinstalling the plugin with the defaut config – not work
Disable all plugins leaving only SEO by Yoast – not work

Yes, i’ve got Open Graph checked in the configuration in within the plugin.

Best regards.

In that case I would revert back to the old plug-in version and start a new thread.
That seems specifically related to the latest update release.

Do you know how to downgrade the version of the SEO plugin ?

Well, you should have backed up the site before doing an update and then you would have access to the old plug-in files and be able to copy the old files into the plug-in folder via FTP. If you DIDN’T do that…than I don’t know how to help you.

I should do it next time when i make any update ?? lol

Thank you very much for your help !!!
