+1 Same problem here.

Update 2:

Oh, I do know where the SEO plugin gets the canonical URL from. I set it manually in the advanced tab for the specific post. But apparently when I activate the “Facebook” plugin it overwrites this value with the permalink.

Is there any way I can disable Facebook’s generation of open graph metatags? I know it is the official Facebook plugin but SEO gives me the flexibility to manually change these values which is much more convenient than just having unchangeable defaults.

Update:

I realized that the canonical URL is only set correctly (to the original post permalink) when the WordPress SEO plugin (v2.0.1) is activated. Otherwise it is set to the new URL. I don’t know where the SEO plugin takes the URL from but I wish the Facebook plugin was using the same URL for the like button. When both plugins are activated, I get the warning:

The following plugins might cause (open graph) issues with Yoast WordPress SEO: Facebook

I would like to keep using both plugins, however.

UPDATE

I don’t remember what I did but the 11 comments I mentioned now are 16. The last dozen of times I tried, 16 comments got imported to the WP database but not the rest. Today I realized that the comments that failed to be imported had something in common:

They all have a “@blogger.disqus.net” address for the author and a 255.255.255.255 IP. I suppose they’re comments made before I had installed Disqus in the blogger. There is no error when I run the import though. It shows a success message and these records simply aren’t saved.

Is this a Disqus limitation? Can it simply not sync imported comments? Only comments natively made using the Disqus plugin?

Ideally I would like to edit the entries because it’s a personal blog and I know most of the people who comment and I could simply enter their Disqus user and replace the invalid data that results in ugly, generic avatars.

Hi,

Yes, I’ve also talked to the support staff through the online chat and that was the conclusion. It’s an intentional limitation of the WordPress hosting. I looked for this information elsewhere after the chat but didn’t find it. Not very professional of them. I’ll try setting up two languages using categories or some plugin like qTranslate. If I’m not satisfied I’ll get a full refund. Thanks for the help.

This is NEW information

Wait, wait. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. What happened is: I created a network using subdomains the first time, but saw that I had to setup domains and thought it would be simpler to start with subfolders, so I changed it. I had very similar problems to what I am describing now, but since I made those changes I thought the installation could be messed up so I erased it completely and created a FRESH installation from scratch with subfolders. But it didn’t solve the problem, so I came here and posted this messages describing the problems I’m having now, with the clean install with subfolders.

I clicked the “edit” link, the box you mentioned was already checked, I saved it, but nothing changed =/

Yes, here’s what I see: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2493492/File%20transfer/wp.png

Btw, the link to all dashboards point to the same generic dashboard, but the “visit site” link actually points to /en or /pt.

I’m thinking of removing this site altogether and creating a fresh install using godaddy’s button. I accidentally created this with a wrong username and then I changed it straight in the database… But something tells me this will be pointless because I’ve already removed it once because of very similar problems (I created the first with subdomains and later changed to subdirectory paths, the problems were very similar).

Ah, and the plugins are already all deactivated.

I really don’t know what else to try…

The links point to the generic URL. “/en” and “/pt” are not there.

Hi Ipstenu, thanks for the help.

Not sure how this would fix the problem, especially because I also need the /pt/ address, but I gave it a try anyway. Everything looks the same with the exception that if I manually edit the URL and send the request I get “500 Internal Server Error” now.

Any other ideas?

Hi,
I have exactly what I was told to put there in the Dashboard instructions for activating Networks:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
