Theme is amazing – just a few things

The large twitter button within the post is NOT tweeting the actual URL of the post – it is only tweeting/sharing the title of the post – how can I fix this

Thanks

Make sure you have proper open graph and twitter tags setup in your head meta data; this is the usual culprit.

Additionally, Twitter does *not* support #tags in post headlines.

Chris thanks

I am not using any # in the Title of the post and everything is set up properly – It is sharing correctly on Facebook just not Twitter… Where exactly could I check to make sure ?

Do “view source” on your post page, and look at all the twitter elements to make sure none are broken. That’s what I usually do, since that is exactly what twitter is “scanning” when you go to submit.

Note also if you’re using multiple social sharing plugins at once, this can also cause hiccup.

You can also try Twitter’s developer tool to check your post to see if it works or not; and also submit for a twitter card — which is also what I usually do.

Good places to start.

Hi @NextdMedia and thanks @Chris S for your suggestions!

I’ve checked your site and noticed that the og:url property is not set correct: http://screencast.com/t/3NVjIRzGJ2 For more details about setting up the og properties you can check this link: http://ogp.me/ Also try this without any other plugins, leave just Visual Composer and SEO by Yoast active, clear all caches and test again.

Hope this help.
Thanks!
