Wrong Title & text Snippet showing on FB & LI Shares
-
Hi, we’ve been having this problem for a few weeks now. Whenever someone tries to share a post from our site, rather than using the post title and text snippet as configured in Yoast, we see instead the generic site title and description. You can see this for example if you go to https://www.cigarsense.com/2016/06/champagne-and-cigars/ and click the FB share button at the bottom.
I’ve contacted Yoast support, who pointed out that on examining the source for the page, there are two sets of object graph properties – Yoast correctly sets the title and description, but there is also another title & description which I believe are being set by Add to Any. Unfortunately the latter is what FB scraping is picking up.
I cannot find any way to suppress the redundant og:title & og:description. Yoast indicates this is an Add to Any problem and they cannot help me resolve it. I sincerely hope you can advise me how to correct this is it makes our sharing capability all but unusable. If you cannot help I will have to abandon your plugin after years of using it successfully :-/
Any advice is greatly appreciated…
