Social share meta data title

    Hi,

    Juste noticed that when activating fb/twitter social share meta in html head it would urlencode html tags in the post title.

    This doesn’t end up well when title has a 1<sup>st</sub> in it ??

    I would be preferable to run a strip_tags() of the post title.

    In the mean time the fix was to disable adding meta tags in this plugin.

    Have a nice day.

    I son’t see what allowing shortcode has to do with this.

    I think you just need to wp_strip_all_tags() on the values you set for og:title and twitter:title meta values. Perhaps something like $title = wp_strip_all_tags(get_the_title())

    As with your plugin we could disable it from adding those meta in header, this is how we fixed it.
