Social Rocket and Yoast Social Tab

    Yoast’s social tab is overriding Social Rocket, and it’s a problem. Can the social tab in Yoast be turned off in Yoast settings? Or can something be done on the backend so that Social Rocket is considered primary over Yoast (without interfering with Yoast’s SEO function)?

    Yoast updated its software and now has a title and description box for FB (which I have never filled in). I just realized today that these new boxes also override Social Rocket. Facebook pulls everything from Yoast, and if the boxes are empty, it pulls from Yoast’s SEO tab. So, it’s the wrong information. Is there a way to make Social Rocket primary or fix a setting in Yoast that removes all tabs from Yoast except SEO?

    Thanks for reporting this! In general, Social Rocket does override Yoast, but they have released a number of updates recently that our team hasn’t had time to catch up on (they have a very frequent release schedule).

    For now, if you go to SEO → Social in your site’s dashboard, you can switch “Add Open Graph meta data” to “disabled” and this will prevent Yoast’s OG tags from being used by Facebook. I recommend doing this for Twitter as well. This change will take effect globally across all pages and posts on the site.

    Thanks – we disabled open graph for facebook and twitter and that worked.

    Much appreciated.
