Meta name=”twitter:title” content=”Replicates og:title, so not needed if og:title set, duplicate” Twitter uses most of the standard OG tags, but also has it’s own Twitter meta tags. Meta property=”fb:app_id” content=”an app id setup under Facebook developer, optional” Meta property=”og:type” content=”type of content, article, website for example” Meta property=”og:locale” content=”the country code” Meta property=”og:site_name” content=”Title of the site: home page title” Meta property=”og:image:height” content=”height of image, optional” Meta property=”og:image:width” content=”width of above image, optional” Meta property=”og:image” content=”URL to the image shown by Facebook etc…” Meta property=”og:url” content=”URL to an image” Meta property=”og:description” content=”The descriptive text shown by Facebook, Twitter etc… when shared” Meta property=”og:title” content=”Title of Webpage” If you view HTML source of this post you will see I have a smaller set of meta tags than Yoast SEO outputs: I have OG tags built into Stallion Responsive and have only added the ones that are NEEDED.įacebook uses the standard OG meta tags, so OG ones are all that’s needed for Facebook.

Yoast SEO Duplicate Open Graph/Twitter Meta Tags The Yoast SEO plugin does have what I consider (some would argue they aren’t duplicate) a duplicate social networks meta tags issue. Below is a screenshot of Stallion Responsive’s open graph meta tags form for this WordPress Post – the form is where you set specific OG and Twitter meta tags for a Post or Page.

Since the commenter uses the Yoast SEO plugin to add a complete set of social media meta data, they should disable the Avada Open Graph meta tags (looks like a partial set of data) under the Avada Themes Options. Open Graph Meta Tags option under WP Dashboard > Appearance > Theme Options > Advanced Options. With so many WordPress themes (like the Avada WordPress Theme) and plugins having social media network features it’s not difficult to have them added twice by mistake.įor the commenter’s website a quick Google search for “Avada WordPress Theme OG” suggests it’s the theme, first result is “Reply To: issue with More Than One OG URL Specified – Theme Fusion” which says: If you find two or more copies of the same OG meta tags you have a duplicate Open Graph Meta Tags issue.
