For few of my website author, the author name are clickable ( displays the Facebook profile written under the author profile) ( check this screenshot: https://snag.gy/HeOAd7.jpg ) but most of the authors, it shows simple Name with no hyperlinked Facebook profile even when those authors have facebook profile added in their user user profile.
Why does it happen? How can I make it work for all my authors? I am using this theme with Yoast SEO and there is no other plugin installed which has anything to do with social profiles.
Please help if you can understand my issue.
Thank you
Issue with Facebook; check developer tools for post with that author for error.
Also, check to see if the author’s FB page is private or public.
And, make sure you check the LINK to the author page on FB that isn’t linking is actually there.
Note the link will not work when SHARING to FB, but then turns on AFTER the post is live and they then rewrite the “name” shown to match the FB version.
For example we shared something where on our site author was (made up example) Whacky Widgets Corp. and not linked to their FB page; then when actually posted to FB, the link was active, but name changed to Whacky Widget Inc. which was the actual name ON Facebook.
They seem to be messing with this lately, and I only noticed that behavior this week for Sept. 2016.
Welcome to the Internet! 🙂
Hey Chris,
Thanks again 🙂
Also, check to see if the author’s FB page is private or public.
Yes! this can be a big thing to notice. I never thought in this way. The other “Change in Name” is something that I am noticing for quite a long time ( 2-3 months)
Let me work on all your suggestion before making any further reply to it.
Thank you very much though 🙂
I accept gingerbread cookies as tips 🙂
Ha ha ha.. I wish if it can be served through IPs 🙂 😀
Wow, we so need a plugin for that!!
Yes! You make it and I will do everything to make it the most upvoted product on Producthunt 🙂 😀
