Adding a meta name in output of Social data

    We have a specific application that requires a NAME meta attribute written on output. How does one add custom attributes in SEO Framework, or do we need to create these in the Theme as a redundant tag (and would that create problems with your plugin?)

    Current output:
    <meta property=”og:image” content=”[Image URL here]”>

    Needed output:
    <meta property=”og:image” name=”image” content=”[Image URL here]”>

    Appreciate any insight you may have. Great plugin by the way. We love it.

    Hello!

    I had your use-case in mind last year during a rewrite of our metatags, but I didn’t have the time to implement it.

    So, I’m afraid this currently isn’t possible. It’d be best to create an extra tag with the name attribute, but then I don’t recommend setting it with the property og:image, as Facebook will allow users to select the image twice when sharing.

    With all that, I recommend using this snippet:

    add_action( 'wp_head', function() {

	if ( function_exists( 'the_seo_framework' ) ) {
		$image_details = current( the_seo_framework()->get_image_details_from_cache() );
	}

	$image_url = isset( $image_details['url'] ) ? $image_details['url'] : '';

	if ( $image_url ) {
		printf(
			'<meta name="image" content="%s" />' . PHP_EOL,
			esc_attr( $image_url )
		);
	}
}, 1 );

    Feel free to manage the snippet however you’d like ?? Cheers!
