Visual Editor and Open Graph Issues

Hi @jlord ,

We’re sorry that you are experiencing problems that might be caused by our plugin!

Just to be sure, we would like to rule out any plugin or theme conflicts that may occur. The fastest way to do this is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Nineteen and re-enable the visual editor. 

Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check without affecting normal visitors to your site.

As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts.

Regarding the OpenGraph issue, can you please share a sample URL so we can check?

​We look forward to your response.

@jlord Thanks for your reply. We understand that you tested the issue with only the Yoast SEO plugin active and the issue still occurred. Can you also confirm whether the problem occurred when using a default theme such as TwentyNineteen and only the Yoast SEO plugin active?

Hi @jlord,

Thank you for your reply.

We visited the page you mentioned and do see some meta tags in the page source. However, this does not look like the Yoast SEO output we are familiar with. It does include an og:image on line 39 though: `
<meta property=”og:image” content=”http://www.sspnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/SSP-Facebook.jpg&#8221; />`.

Can you confirm that Yoast SEO 14.7 is activated at this time? And that there is no other SEO plugin creating similar meta-content?

Hi @jlord,

Thank you for replying.

I had a second look at the page and found that there is more than one plugin or it’s your theme that is also outputting meta content on the page. The image you are linking is in the Yoast output in the page source from lines 137 to 161, as seen in this screenshot: https://snipboard.io/FCmtKO.jpg.

However, higher in the page source, there are different meta tags and the og:image in that code is still linking to http://www.sspnet.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/SSP-Facebook.jpg. See this screenshot: https://snipboard.io/BxIW9M.jpg.

This means you do have another plugin that is also putting SEO meta tags into the page, or your theme has some SEO settings as well. Please check if you can find any SEO settings that you can disable in your theme or if there is another plugin.

You can, but if you really can’t find any plugin that might do this, it will probably be included in your theme functionality.

@jlord If you have purchased SEO Premium you would need to contact us directly at [email protected] for support inquiries, as this forum is reserved for support of the free version of Yoast SEO.
