    hi I need assistance. I’m trying to share my articles on a site called flipboard.com but I have a problem, when I publish an article the site detects the meta description of the last article published on the site and not of the one I’m sharing. I wrote to the platform about the problem but they told me to contact WordPress support directly as it could be a code problem and the site in question detects the wrong description. Can you help me please? because for me it is necessary to share the articles on this site. the flipboard link in question is: https://flipboard.com/@alchimiadelsole/lezioni-di-vita-2b2i20fiy and by checking with Elementor it was noticed that each post extrapolates the last one of each published article as a description. In fact, they pointed out to me that the ‘Post Excerpt’ section is configured on Word Press which directly affects the Flipboard site. Can you help me solve this problem please?

    Taking the post you published on Flipboard, which is:

    https://alchimiadelsole.com/40-frasi-per-consapevolezza-tempo-perso/

    And then looking at its meta data, which is:

    <title>40 Frasi, per la consapevolezza del tempo che hai perso.</title>

    Is that the right or wrong meta data? Did you already manually fix it for this post? How are you creating new posts, and do they contain old meta data on creation, or is that something that gets populated once you save the post? If you manually fix it, and save it, does it retain your changes or revert back to the old meta data?

    the meta data is all correct. the problem is when I publish the article on flipboard because it takes the description of the last article published on the site and not the one I’m sharing. In fact they told me that the problem is with word press in the post excerpt

    If the meta data when you edit the WordPress post is correct, and the meta data in that post’s HTML source is correct, then there is no evidence to suggest there’s an issue with the post.

    That said, whenever oddities happen on a website, I’ve learned to rule any sort of caching system. In other words, what if you post a new article, it looks good to you (because you’re logged in), but then externally, it’s still showing something else due to cache not being purged?

    For instance, what if Flipboard is using your RSS feed to grab the most recently article whenever you publish something new, but that RSS feed is cached, meaning it will grab the most recent article, which would be the one before that?

    If you do any kind of caching at any level, I would try and rule that out next.

    Unfortunately I have already tried that way too but it gives me the same problem as always. I also wrote to Elementor because I thought the problem came from there, but they only told me about the fact that on WordPress the problem is linked to excerpt posts and nothing more.

    Have you searched for the string that Flipboard is pickup up within your post’s HTML source? Does it exist? If you’re giving Flipboard a link to your post, and it then pulls a string that is nowhere to be found in the post’s HTML source, then you need to get a better idea from where Flipboard gets this data, because it doesn’t appear like it’s coming from the post itself.

    as I was telling you, I checked this directly with the assistance of Elementor and through the code it turned out that the code string takes the description of the last post from the website. The support showed me a highlighted part where in fact it reported in the html code: post exceprt, in fact they told me that this configuration is the problem because it takes the description not from the link, but from the last post. In fact, they were always the ones who told me to contact word press because this is a problem not linked to the theme or to fliboard but solely to wordpress and which should be reconverted in another way so that it does not automatically collect the data of your choice. then I don’t know anything else, to be honest, I’m only basing it on what they told me

    Can you share this code with us and where it’s located in the HTML code? That’s what I was asking for in my last response: a sample of the string that was found, so we can see where it was found. It might provide an indication as to what is generating it.

    ah sorry I didn’t understand. These are the codes that I see from the flipboard platform and exactly from this link: https://flipboard.com/@alchimiadelsole/lezioni-di-vita-2b2i20fiy

    I see these codes when in the link I sent I select the description under the image and the title. as you can see the direction link is correct but the result is different and takes the description of the other item

    ps: thank you very much for your availability and your time
