I build a new wordpress site and installed the Yoast SEO plugin.
My homepage defined as some of my pages.
When i post the link on facebook i can't see any description/title/image that i want
checked on - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
i got:
og:type article
(i think that In order to work should appear : website)
maybe someone knows Where I'm wrong?
Thank you!
Facebook uses OpenGraph, a protocol for which if no default values are defined (and you have no standard HTML <meta> values defined,) you can set certain properties so that your site will appear as you want it when you share it socially.
It should be noted that Opengraph will, by default, attempt to interpret these properties by their corresponding <meta> elements (stuff like <meta name="description" content="describe my site">).
If you don't have these, I suggest you add them, but the OpenGraph properties can be defined explicitly, too. The process for adding properties like this involve the use of the <meta> tag, typically in your header.php.
There are a lot of properties you can define
I think most pertinent to your situation would be:
<meta property="og:image" content="path/to/image">
<meta property="og:title" content="My cool website">
<meta property="og:description" content="Description of site">
These work for sites that use OpenGraph, but it's no substitute for having proper <meta> tags in the <head> of your document.
here's a bit of reading you can do on defining site meta
Hope this helps!

I am having some difficulty implementing a solution that I found via my research here (the actual accepted answer is not helpful and has been downvoted to Bolivian).
Problem: Facebook doesn't seem to recognize the OpenGraph meta tags that I have added to my Header.
What I know (or think I know): It is my understanding that by adding some appropriate opengraph meta tags, the content, such as YouTube video, should appear in the body of the "post" on Facebook.
What I have tried so far: Referring to the solution linked above, I have tried to implement this method.
In my examples, I'm embedding this video
https://www.youtube.com/v/BQBjVr1iHH4 in the following page
https://www.keithandthegirl.com/vip/bonus/episode/9/40/this-is-40 I
would like Facebook to show the YouTube video whenever anyone shares
my page on Facebook.
Option 1: setting the og:video to https://www.youtube.com/v/YOUTUBECODE
The meta tag will look like
<meta property='og:video' content='https://www.youtube.com/v/BQBjVr1iHH4' />
Further, I have attempted to disable plugins which may conflict with this -- any plugins which appear to add OG meta tags.
On the code side: I have hard-coded the following meta tags in the Header (this will eventually become a PHP function or something, but not until/unless I can make it work on a single post):
<meta property='og:image' content='http://agnarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2014-11-01-22.02.37.jpg' />
<meta property='og:video' content='https://www.youtube.com/v/dt6pPdz5eqg' />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="854" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="510" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video">
Observed behavior:
All I see is the post's featured image. When I schedule or submit this link to my facebook page, Facebook does not recognize the OpenGraph tags and does not render the embedded video as part of the content of this Facebook post:
Desired behavior:
This is at odds with the suggested method, which if I use the URL provided in that answer, I can see the embedded video player:
I am implementing various meta tags within my site. Many are aimed at social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. To manage these tags easier I have grouped the related tags.
For instance:
<!-- DESCRIPTIONS -->
<meta name="description" content="Page description. No longer than 155 characters." />
<meta itemprop="description" content="This is the page description">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Page description less than 200 characters">
<meta property="og:description" content="Description Here" />
This will make it much quicker to insert the descriptions for each meta tag.
My question: Is there any reason Open Graph, Schema.org, Twitter Cards, or any other meta tags need to be:
grouped together and/or
be in a specific order?
Of course this assumes the meta tags are in the <head> of my site.
Most documentations don't mention a required or recommended order (Twitter, FB, OG).
According to this source the order matters for the Google+ button. I'm not sure if that is still true.
The order of the tags is not critical. But schema.org markup should be placed on the page itself, not in the head section with meta tags.
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://test.groundguitar.com/wp- includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://test.groundguitar.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.2.1'></script>
<style type="text/css">.recentcomments a{display:inline !important;padding:0 !important;margin:0 !important;}</style>
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="" />
<meta property="og:title" content="" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<meta property="og:image" content="" />
</head>
These are lines added by wp_head();. For some reason it adds og tags, and I can't figure out why.
I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin, but have previously used All In One SEO, and they both had og tags disabled, yet this still appeared in the header. Rest of the plugins I'm using are: Facebook Comments by Fat Panda, Contact Form 7 and Any Mobile Theme Switcher. Disabling any of them didn't remove the tags.
Could this be a leftover from a plugin used in the past, which didn't uninstall correctly, and how can I remove it, or at least find out what's causing it?
That definitely looks like something a plugin would add.
First thing I would do is check the header.php file of your theme just to make sure they are not hard coded in there, never hurts to eliminate the obvious first.
Next, do you have JetPack enabled? If so do you have it's Social Links module enabled? Those og tags might be generated from there.
Last but not least if they still are showing up you will need to turn of EVERY plugin and check, might be something that another, not so obvious plugin might be doing.
Good luck!
Yoast plugin provides Opengraph for Facebook and Twitter so that if someone shares your post/page, the desired image with custom title can forward to those social media. You can check https: //www.facebook.com/kumarsn11/posts/747660215383716 this link which redirects user to your website. Its always helpful. Read some basic info about opengraph, you will get basic idea what you are actually using. Read This https: //blog.kissmetrics.com/open-graph-meta-tags/
You can disable it by SEO-> Social-> Add Opengraph Metadata. Disable This.
but I will recommend you not to disable, but use it properly with more customization.
When you click this social icon, you can use custom title other than original or keep the same for Facebook and Twitter.
I would like to hide a page from search engine using meta tag. Is there any meta tag for the same?
use
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
to prevent all robots from indexing the page.
Additionally, you can define rules for specific robots by referencing them by name:
<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">
See google webmasters pages.
You can use META tags though it may not be your best bet. The best resource I can think off for all your options here is: http://www.robotstxt.org/
I am new to this. We have a wedding photography web site.

I have used the Facebook developer page to generate the code to put on the put a Like button on each image's individual page, using the iframe method.
<iframe src='//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fdawnkellyphotography.com%2Ffbshare%2FFBalbum%2F%3Fshow%3Dslides%2FNodownLoad.html&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=true&action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=80' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:80px;' allowTransparency='true'></iframe>
I have also added the meta og tags to the image's html wrapper file.
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:sitename" content="Dawn Kelly Photography">
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.DawnKellyPhotography.com /fbshare/FBalbum/?show=slides/NodownLoad.html">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.DawnKellyPhotography.com/fbshare/FBalbum/slides/NodownLoad.jpg">
<meta property="og:title" content="Facebook Test Gallery">
I was expecting that the Like click would post the og:image and the og:url. Instead, just a link to the web site's base url is being posted along with the home page's image. The gallery is generated using JAlbum and a custom skin, and runs on the web site using a custom javascript. I have access to change any of these as needed.
Thanks in advance.
Any help will be appreciated.
You are missing og:image tags from your link you specified in your iframe.
Fix the warnings you have on the linter tool.
Inferred Property: The og:url property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:title property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
