 * Hi,
    Today I discovered Open Graph MetaBox is exposing the WordPress login username
   in the tags, even though the WordPress user “Display name publicly as” is set
   to something other than the username. For example in the tags, there is: “@type”:”
   Person”,”name”:”<Name from WP setting Display Name publicly as>”,”url”:”[https://<domain.name>/author/<username>/&#8221](https://<domain.name>/author/<username>/&#8221);
   I do not wish to expose the author URL and I also have a plugin installed to 
   disable author pages and urls. Please remove the URL from Open Graph MetaBox 
   or provide a setting to remove it!! Thanks, Michael

 * Hi,
 * This is not really a security issue, as we are requesting the default WordPress
   author page to provide the appropiate link for Open Graph Metatag which should
   exists by default anyway.
 * but I understand your concern, and will look into fixing this in a future version.
   But currently development is on low priority, since this is a hobby project.

 * I’ve looked deeper into your problem, and we do not add the author meta data 
   in this plugin. So it’s probably added by another plugin.
