Shortcode not rendering in og:title

    I have a simple shortcode which I use on post titles:

    add_shortcode(‘year’, ‘year_shortcode’);
    function year_shortcode() {
    $year = date(‘Y’);
    return $year;
    }

    add_filter( ‘single_post_title’, ‘my_shortcode_title’ );
    add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_shortcode_title’ );
    add_filter(‘wpseo_title’, ‘my_shortcode_title’);
    add_filter( ‘wpseo_metadesc’, ‘my_shortcode_title’ );

    function my_shortcode_title( $title ){
    return do_shortcode( $title );
    }
    It works fine but I suddenly realized that Yoast creates an og:title and it doesn’t render there (meaning it doesn’t render on Facebook or whatsapp)

    I searched for an answer and couldn’t find anythinng. Has anyone faced this before?

    Maybe I need to run the og:title through a filter of some sort which is also fine, the question is how.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    Just to clarify – I use the shortcode on the Yoast meta title and the open graph pulls the data from there (or the post title).
    On the meta title it appears correctly and on the open graph it does not.

    I think it just needs to have the same filters as already exist on the meta title.

    Thanks
