Hi!

I understand that this is not a problem of the Theme.

I would like to ask the developers whether it is a problem when you do repost articles on Facebook, does not display the author name.

By Admin on screenshot.

Tag filled out correctly.

<meta property="article:author" content="https://www.facebook.com/FACEBOOK_user" />

Hi,

The article author name should be displayed. You could test with the debugging tools and see if there is something wrong

Thanks

No.

For example try to sharing this link: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wordpress-news-magazine-charts-the-most-fashionable-new-york-couples-in-2016/

Result:

Tag from url is correctly:

<meta property=article:author content="https://www.facebook.com/TagDiv/" />

Hi,

After further research it seems that other people are experiencing a similar issue. I have found this related topic describing missing author names in sharing

Do I understand correctly that this problem exists, and it is not solved?

It is not known whether it will be fixed by the developers of Facebook?

Hello,

Unfortunately we do not know. This change seems to be Facebook oriented so we cannot say for sure what Facebook will fix, break or adjust. It’s their call.

Thank you
