Twitter Meta Tags Rank Math Conflict

    Hello,

    On one of the site we manage we have rank math installed and WPSSO.

    Rankmath gives you the option to enable slack enhanced channels (funny options name!) which adds the following into the frontend head code:

    <meta name="twitter:label1" content="Written by" />
<meta name="twitter:data1" content="AUTHOR NAME" />
<meta name="twitter:label2" content="Time to read" />
<meta name="twitter:data2" content="4 minutes" />

    Now when viewing OR editing a page in the wp admin WPSSO notices pop up indicating an issues as such:

    SSO Notice
Conflict detected - your theme or another plugin is adding meta name="twitter:label1" to the head section of this webpage.
SSO Notice
Conflict detected - your theme or another plugin is adding meta name="twitter:data1" to the head section of this webpage.
SSO Notice
Conflict detected - your theme or another plugin is adding meta name="twitter:label2" to the head section of this webpage.
SSO Notice
Conflict detected - your theme or another plugin is adding meta name="twitter:data2" to the head section of this webpage.

    From what I can tell wpsso doesnt actually use those attributes within its plugin (do correct me if I am wrong?) and as such these are false positives?

    WPSSO provides those meta tags, so as the notice suggests, you must disable those in Rank Math to avoid duplicate meta tags.

    @jsmoriss thanks for the update…

    WPSSO provides those meta tags, so as the notice suggests, you must disable those in Rank Math to avoid duplicate meta tags.

    BUT those tags are not used by your plugin and they are actually complementary for slack users.

    IF they were used by your plugin it would make sense and in this case they are not and thus the notices on the admin side are not relevant and create a very small unesseary overhead…

    Yes, WPSSO creates those meta tags for both articles (ie. ‘Written by’ and ‘Est. reading time’) and products (ie. ‘Price’ and ‘Availability’).

    @jsmoriss is that for this standard wpsso plugin or the premium version? and is it only for blog posts where the article schema is used?

    As disabling the slack option in rankmath removes those ‘duplicate’ meta tags BUT wpsso desnt seem to be adding them in on any pages… Hence why I posted the message initially…

    Make sure the Open Graph type is set to article. You can adjust the reading time in the Document SSO metabox. I’ve answered your question many times now – yes, those duplicate meta tag warnings are correct, yes, you must deactivate those meta tags in Rank Math to avoid duplicates, yes, WPSSO creates twitter:label and twitter:data meta tags for articles and products.
