Post shares not using some of the metadata set in Yoast

    Hi,

    I’ve set the social media metadata to be used for the sharing of individual posts in the WordPress Seo (Yoast) plugin settings for a post.

    When I try and share using the Facebook share button for this post, for example, it successfully collects and populates the post-specific info into the Facebook share window (Title: “Order of adjectives” Description: “This post describes the required order of adjectives when using different classes of adjectives to modify nouns. Practical examples are given.”).

    When I try to share with Google+ it finds the post image, title and link, but omits the post description, and when I try to share on Twitter it uses the default site description from Ultimate Social Media Icons PLUS >> 2. What do you want the icons to do? >> Twitter Tweet about my page (info inserted here), and not the description inserted into the WordPress SEO Twitter description for this post: “A post describing the required order of different classes of adjectives to modify nouns https://bit.ly/1QVbtIN #orderofadjectives”.

    I understand that this involves another plugin, and two social media sites, but as the WordPress SEO is pretty popular, I was wondering if anyone has come across this before. Or, maybe I am missing something simple here…

    No problem at all. Let me know if I can try anything further on my installation.

    Hi Barnez,

    We had a look. Our plugin takes the description either from the blog page, or from what you enter in the admin area. What the other plugins do is independent from that.

    We’ll take it up as an idea for enhancement though, however it looks complicated so it may take a while.

    Thank you,

    John

    Hi John,

    Many thanks for looking into this and reporting back.

    I’m clear now on how the plugin functions, and am happy to hear that the idea is on the list for possible future inclusion, while I hear that this would not be straightforward. If it did come off, perhaps the front end might have a checkbox to pull the metadata from the two most popular SEO plugins (WordPress SEO & All in One SEO) where available …

    Thanks again for a great plugin, and for considering this!
