Do you have proper open graph meta tags?
Google will generally use the og: tags to pull content. So you do need the og:image, title and description tags in place.

Newpaper Theme Doesn’t Have the og:image, title and description tags ?

Because i am using Different Theme ( soledad theme ) on my another blog ( https://windows101tricks.com )and there is no such issue like this.

The Yoast SEO plugin adds all the necessary tags when it comes to sharing, the theme itself does not have any sharing options. Install the mentioned plugin and enable og meta.

Hi Simion C,
Thanks for support.

I am already using Yoast SEO, And as you mention i am added my social profile on there http://prntscr.com/hzb39v and filled : http://prntscr.com/hzb3p7
for Social sharing : http://prntscr.com/hzb3yn

And there is no issue on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest sharing only found problem on Google plus Sharing …
I think A bug causing the problem. Request to look at this issue, because With out google Shareing The Blog post is very useless ( for SEO purpose, Google didnt find the Title, and discription how it will be rank on google ? )

Aside : on my different website ( windows101tricks.com ) i am using Soledad Theme From last 1.5 year, There i didnt do any modification for post sharing purpose.
This is perfectly working ex : http://prntscr.com/hzb4xl

Thanks

Hi,

I would suggest to try without plugins, deactivate them all as a quick test, deactivate the minification and make some tests. Leave only Yoast and theme plugins active if possible. Clear all caching and try to share a post.
Since all the required meta and tags are present in the page source, something else might be causing the issue
https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/
All the requirements by Google are met. These are added by the Yoast plugin, the theme does not have any settings in the matter, or does it block the plugin functionality.

Thanks

Yes i have first Clear the Cache then Deactive All Installed plugins, Only Yoast SEO plugin is activated : http://prntscr.com/hzty65

After that on Different Computer ( Run ccleaner to clean browser history etc ) then open The web URL and Try to Share on G+ and The results are same : http://prntscr.com/hztx3z

You don’t need to run ccleaner on your computer or anything like that. Clearing browser cache should also do nothing whatsoever related to ‘sharing’ content on G+.

What can affect sharing is whether you are logged in or not, whether you are in incognito mode, whether you look like a bot, if behind some kinds of proxy, but mainly the only single one issue at all is whether you have proper open graph tags (og:title, og:description), or similar markup properly setup for your posts. PERIOD. FULL STOP. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

Google will only pull the data from YOUR website, not your computer! So, the cache on your PC hard drive has nothing to do with anything, except your ability to SEE changes to websites.

So, if you “view source” on your actual post; and you have all the proper open graph tags, and don’t have console errors breaking Google’s bot, they will grab the content properly unless there is time out.

This is well covered in the Google support docs for those who RTFM:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/snippet/

So, theme does not control the open graph main data, which you would manage with a suitable SEO plugin like Yoast SEO or All-in-One SEO, or custom functions, or whatever.

Note that Google may choose to not grab your content for some internal filter reason such as “steal this YouTube video for fun and profit…” — if your page content hits some internal filter/blacklist thing (e.g,. how to steal YouTube videos might trigger that; or some other kinds of content).

SO:
a) check your post page with F12/console view in Chrome; fix any ‘errors’
b) check your post ‘view source’ for proper open graph tags, no duplicates from using multiple plugins (like using Yoast SEO *and* another SEO solution at same time would break that) — and
test post with Google testing tool:
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool
c) go back and read the docs page from Google to make sure you know what you’re doing.

If all things are correct and data still not being pulled, it would generally mean your server is ‘timing out’ before Google can capture the information. This happens with *all* social media, from Facebook to Pinterest and Google+ — the bot has a certain amount of time to view page, and if it can’t render the DOM in that time, it moves on. That can be caused by YOUR server/hosting, OR by Google, OR by the “pipes” in between Google’s bot and your server. Nothing you can do about that except try again later.

That’s it.

@srikant Mine does not show meta description either, but I am cool with the title only. That was the only fix for me.

@epickenyan Post Title is ok Now, But the Post title With Meta Description Like this http://prntscr.com/hzb4xl is Good for SEO.
