Twitter Card Info Using Admin as Creator
-
WordPress version: 3.5.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.4.6
I did this: Enabled Twitter Cards in the settings
I expected the plugin to do this: Not use the admin account.
Instead it did this:The
class-twitter.phpfile outputs the Twitter card code on all singular pages. This includes not only blog pages, but non-blog static pages as well.The way this is currently coded is causing an issue in the following circumstance:
I am the administrator for the page I’m creating for a client. The clients will be blogging on the site.
I enable the Twitter Card functionality on the SEO setting page.
In the header of static web pages on the site (like the home page), there is code that includes Twitter Card information with my Twitter account as the author (shows as
twitter:creator), which is being pulled automatically as the author of the page.The only way I can fix this without altering the code is to remove my Twitter account in my user settings. However, I’m afraid that it may get put back in without knowing the consequences in the future. I would prefer that this situation could be taken care of in the coding.
If Twitter cards should only be on blog pages, then perhaps excluding regular pages would be best. If not, then perhaps an option in the settings to exclude the admin and then check against that account in the coding would be best.
Either way, I wanted to bring this scenario to your attention.
