Twitter Cards and OG Meta Tags

    I updated to the latest version of Jetpack yesterday and suddenly my site has started duplicating Twitter Card data and OG Meta tags. Both are already handled. I don’t have sharing or publicise modules switched on. I have added the following code to my functions.php file which seems to resolve the problem but I don’t understand why Jatpack has suddenly started adding to my header without modules switched on or selections ticked? Is this expected behaviour? In the case of Twitter cards it over-rode my own Twitter handle to inset Jetpack’s.

    add_filter( 'jetpack_disable_twitter_cards', '__return_true', 99 );

    add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_opengraph', '__return_false', 99 );

    Are there likely to be any other areas these modules are affecting that I haven’t considered?

    Very minor, but the filter should be jetpack_enable_open_graph. The one you’re using will work, but is depreciated.

    Unless there is code elsewhere (another plugin, theme), Jetpack is set to only insert Open Graph tags with Publicize or Sharing is enabled. If the filter you’re using or a known conflicting plugin is active, Jetpack will disable our OG tags.

    Were you using Yoast SEO? We had been deactivating ourselves when Yoast was present, but removed that since Yoast added the deactivation code (preferred for us since deactivating Jetpack’s OG tags only when Yoast is adding them is smoother for everyone).

    We did discover that Yoast’s deactivation code didn’t actually do it, though. We’ve sent over a patch to fix that.

    Thanks for your patience. Cheers!

    Hi Brandon, thank you. I got that snippet via Yoast from a search so will update and my apologies have double checked, Publicize is actually active although I don’t use it so will switch that off (in which case I won’t need to add the filters anyway). Many thanks.
