hi,

the issue was never resolved. but since i don’t have enough knowledge to make the changes to the code, after speaking to my webhost the simplest solution seems to be to move the extra purchased domain from godaddy to my webhost. then when i have the domain also by my webhost, i can select the desired domain as the primary domain. then i can use the yoast facebook and twitter cards without having to change the og:url.

hi, i am the website owner and designer. there is no additional developer. i understand how to use code snippets and i know how to put the customized functions in my child theme.

what i do not understand is what exactly i need to place in the functions to change the og:url property. this is all new to me.

your second link there talks about hooks. so now i’m confused if this is something i need to change in hooks or in the functions. my theme does have a section for entering hook content.

your links did not provide me with the instructions on what i need to place in the functions to change the ol:url property. i did however find this link. is this what i need to change? but i still do not understand where to enter in my .com domain.

add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_url', 'my_opengraph_url' );

function my_opengraph_url( $url ) {
        return str_replace( 'https://', 'https://', $url );
}

if someone can just tell me what code i need to enter in the functions or hook to change the og:url property i have no problem doing it myself.

hi, yes i’m aware that the .nl is the primary domain. as i stated i’d like the masking domain to show. where did i use <iframe>? i didn’t enter that anywhere. i don’t even understand what it means to use an iframe html tag to load the front page.

i have no idea how to “programmatically change it”? can you please be more specific and tell me what i need to to to change it? i took a look at the page you provided but i am unsure of how to proceed. and is it something i need to change in my functions? and what exactly?

ALL PAGES and POSTS should point to SNAILHUNTERS.COM. i wish NOTHING to point to snailhunters.nl. that is the purpose that i have purchased the .com domain. so everything points to there.

sorry i thought the screenshot i provided clarified what i wanted. what i want to achieve is the URL where i circled in red on the screenshot should be the .com url. not the .nl url. both urls access the site. the .com masks the base url.

1) the screenshot i showed is sharing it to facebook. i want people who visit my website to be able to share it to facebook and twitter.

2) i am wanting people to be able to share anything, but mainly the blog posts as shown in my screenshot.

3) when i purchased my website from my webhost i got a basic domain of https://www.snailhunters.nl. i then purchased the .com from godaddy. both urls can access my website. but the .com is the preferred method i want people to access the website when they see posts shared from the website on facebook or twitter. right now it is just displaying the base url and not the masked url. sorry if my technical terms aren’t accurate.

i guess there is no solution to my question?

thank you for the clarification Yui

hi george, my reason for wanting more of a “site news” plugin rather than “recent posts” is wouldn’t the posts be double? once on the main page and once in the widget?

e.g. on my site (you can see the link above in my initial post for an example) the posts on the main page are for photographing snails. the site news is completely different. but i do not wish the site news posts to show on the main page of posts.

would i have to create a new page for site news posts? is it possible to have more than one page of posts with only one category on a page?

Randolph, we seem to have replied at the same time so i didn’t see your above comment before i replied. i believe you are incorrect. if you are referring to the point below, it does not say anything about asking about plugins. i asked a very specific question about how to accomplish something. it wasn’t about an opinion.

Avoid asking questions that are more about opinion, like “recommending web hosting providers” or other “discussion topics”, that may lead to pointless wars and/or attract spam replies.

We do not give recommendations for plugins here, because that would be bias and might attract unnecessary debate between various opinions.

Randolph i’ve never heard of plugins not being suggested before. are you a moderator? it doesn’t show that you are. in fact in my last support post, i was given the suggestion of a plugin by a support moderator. i have seen that link you provided when i was searching for a solution. the plugins in that link are examples of what i DO NOT wish to accomplish.

George, i’m familiar with the “recent posts” widget. i’ll give that a try. i just don’t know how to add specific posts. i just wasn’t sure if there were better/easier ways to do it with a plugin.

my question other about using a “recent posts” widget is i do not wish to show those posts on the home page, otherwise it would be double. i wish them to only appear in the widget.

hi,

that’s what i had tried to do in my second comment. jetpack is installed, i added a widget but the facebook plugin wasn’t showing.

however, just this morning i got the issue resolved by jetpack support. i hadn’t heard anything back on here and it dawned on me to ask them. i wasn’t sure if it was a wordpress or jetpack issue.

they said i had to first log into the wordpress.com account associated with jetpack and activate the two options for widgets.

“Make extra widgets available for use on your site including images and Twitter streams”
and
Enable widget visibility controls to display widgets only on particular posts or pages

see this screenshot: https://snipboard.io/nmMa8e.jpg

this issue is now resolved and the post can be closed.

hi, my client does have jetpack installed. however i am not seeing the Facebook Page Plugin.

i am wanting to add it in the footer instead of the sidebar like this site shows. my theme does allow widgets in the footer. https://www.qualitycat-krabpalen.nl/kartonnen-krabmeubel/cat-on-katten-krabplank-klein

hi this issue is not resolved. you said you were going to leave it open for a bit?

unfortunately i only saw it in the backend. i am not even finished building the webshop so i panicked when i saw the comment. unfortunately i deleted it before i could get a screenshot of it and i can’t recall which category it was on.

no solution to this?

i can no longer edit the above comment because too much time has lapsed, but i also just discovered that the uploads section is also in dutch when it should be in english. see this screenshot: https://snipboard.io/TEaeSA.jpg
