Hi

i have a wordpress 4.4.2 running with your Newsmag theme v2.2 http://www.koimoi.com
my concern is in every article of my site there is a google+ share button which i suppose not working properly.

the exact problem is when i share an article through google + a pop up comes as share on google + which shows me article title something different than the article which i am sharing.

however it shares the same article that i wanted to share.

here is the article i wanted to share http://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/refused-pk-because-of-kapoor-sons-fawad-khan/

and what i gets it this .google-plus-share

in above image just look for the article title in the share popup

can anybody give me solution for this

Hi

I’ve checked your site and noticed that you don’t have the og:title meta property set. This could be the reason for which google+ pick the wrong title for the shared posts. The theme does not control the og tags. To set these tags correct use a plugin with a similar functionality, we recommend Seo by Yoast which is one of the bests seo plugins on the market at the moment and works fine with our theme. For more details in this regard check this link: http://kb.yoast.com/article/219-getting-open-graph-for-your-articles

Thanks!

why i need to use any extra plugin just only for google share .

there are 4 share buttons provided from the theme itself
1) Facebook 2) twitter 3) google+ 4) pinterest

out of which all works fine for me except for google+ so why do i need to use a extra plugin just for google+.

is there any easy way to do through edit some theme files then plz let me know.

Hi

Unfortunately the theme does not control this behavior of g+. It sometimes grabs a wrong image for the shared post, or sometimes can pick the wrong title as happens in your case. Unfortunately there is no definitive solution to this problem. Using a meta tags plugin could change this behavior as the theme cannot control googles’s sharrer.

Thanks!
