Duplicate OG tags – how to remove?

    Hi

    My site seems to have two sets of Open Graph tags.

    a) does it matter?

    b) if it does, is there a way to remove the second set?

    The only plugin I use on this site that could insert OG tags is Yoast. Currently, OG tags are enabled.

    Any assistance would be appreciated!

  • The common culprit is the site’s theme.

    And from your X theme’s documentation:

    The X and Pro themes output standard Open Graph tags for your content. If you are employing another solution for this such as using the 3rd party plugins, you can disable the Open Graph tag output here.

    Thank you!

    I’ll have a dig around the theme.

    Found the option to turn off OG in the theme options and now have just one set of tags.

    Looks much better.

    Thanks again.
