I’m losing patience with this theme!

Having trouble that irritate!

My posts are totally wrong on Google+!

Facebook is correct, but Google+ is on the wrong image and even sometimes taking the title wrong posting!

100% is problem in THEME! For activated default theme wordpress and the error disappears!

See example for the same post being published to Google+ and Facebook, look at the result:

Facebook:

Google+

Somebody help me!

Did you setup OG tags for Google+ and Facebook?

Otherwise both will just ‘scrape’ information without the tags and often get it wrong.

Use a plugin like Yoast SEO or other to set your open graph tags for Google and Facebook, or you will always have this issue with most themes other than base theme.

This is why Yoast SEO recommended in the theme docs. 😉

Useful also to learn how these things actually work so you take charge of your own website:

But still I have this serious problem!

So did you try the Facebook debug tool already ?

Did you test your post for errors from plugins using the ‘console’ in Chrome or similar ?

Google sometimes has problems and you have to resave, retry the share to get it to work. I run into this with Google News and the G+ and Twitter share; sometimes leads to wrong item, and then I have to go back and hit share again. Happens with all themes, not just this one.

Might not be related to your issue, but just food for thought.

If your OG tags are correct, and there are no console errors on your page, the theme cannot “change what Google grabs” — if you look at your title, description, and other meta data and it’s correct, Google will pull from those first unless they have some hiccups with your site unrelated to theme.

But I’m sure if you post a link to example page, TagDiv support will be happy to look for you 🙂

Warnings That Should Be Fixed

Meta with name instead of property The meta tag on the page was specified with name ‘author’, which matches a configured property of this object type. It will be ignored unless specified with the meta property attribute instead of the meta name attribute.

How do I fix this?

This may not apply to your issue but seems like might be for the ‘author’ thing — thought they fixed this…

Did not work.

I just write new publication: http://www.tudoemtecnologia.com/smartphones-tablets-e-notebooks-mais-caros-em-2016/

Strange that in the statement of the theme, everything works. = /

Hi,

Theme doesn’t handle og: meta data we also use a plugin for this on our demo – Seo by Yoast. You can check if og: data are properly in page source. Also I have checked this and how you can see when you share on facebook, it shows the right image – http://screencast.com/t/JZdv2fkngW
I guess it must be a google share issue please check this topic maybe will help – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28957215/google-plus-share-dialog-showing-wrong-image-using-opengraph-meta-tags

Thanks!

Hello,

I use Yoast SEO plugin as well.

I noticed that when you paste the link, it allows me to change the image and the back appears the correct image, but strangely always appears an image of an old post as a highlight.

This is really annoying!

Hi,

I know that it is frustrating to have this issue, but like I said above the theme doesn’t control open graph data. Also the og: data are set properly by Seo plugin, but it seems that google plus doesn’t consider these tags. I have searched a little about this, so please try to test this by removing this itemprop="image" from here: http://screencast.com/t/Ua5FRoCtBKg and see how it goes.

Thanks!
