Social Meta Settings
Aviso: Está viendo la documentación heredada.
The Social Meta Module in All in One SEO helps you take advantage of the additional metadata that social networking sites use to display your site or blog on their networks. The protocol that is used is called Open Graph and is most commonly associated with Facebook who developed the protocol but it is a standard protocol used by many social networking sites.
Here's an example of how Open Graph metadata is interpreted and displayed on Facebook:
The example in the screenshot above shows the image, title, and description provided by configuring the Open Graph meta for this post.
Here we will delve into the general settings for the Social Meta module as well as the individual Post/Page settings.
Use AIOSEO Title and Description
Check this box if you want to use the Home Title and Home Description that are set in the General Settings screen of All in One SEO Pack as your Open Graph Title (OG:Title) and Open Graph Description (OG:Description) for your home page. This is a great way to ensure that your home page is represented in the same way on all social networking sites as it is in Google search results.
Note: If you check this box then the Home Title and Home Description fields further down the screen will be hidden from view.
Site Name
Adding your site name here allows you to control how your website or blog will be recognized by social networking sites.
Home Title and Home Description
If you do not want to use the Home Title and Home Description you entered in the General Settings screen of All in One SEO Pack, you can add a different OG:Title and OG:Description for your home page here.
Home Image
You can use the Upload Image button to upload an image that you want to use as the OG:Image for the homepage of your site or you can just paste the URL for the image file into the field provided.
The OG:Image should be a minimum size of 600 pixels wide by 315 pixels high. However, Facebook recommends that you use images that are at least 1200 pixels wide by 630 pixels high for the best display on retina and high-resolution screens. See their documentation for more details. The image file should be no more than 5MB.
Home Article Tags
This field will only be displayed when the Facebook Object Type for your site is set to Article. You can use this field to enter Facebook Article Tags for the homepage only. Separate each tag with a comma.
Select OG:Image Source
Use this dropdown to select which image is used by default as the OG:Image for a post or page. Here is a description of each of the options:
- Default Image - use the image specified as the Default OG Image on the Social Meta settings page
- Featured Image - use the featured image from the post
- First Attached Image - use the first attached image on the post (media attachments)
- First Image in Content - use the first image found in the content of the post
- Image From Custom Field - use an image specified from a custom field (field name specified in the settings)
- Post Author Image - this will use the avatar for the author of the post/page
- First Available Image - goes through all of these options automatically
Use Default If No Image Found
This setting will mean that if no image is found using the options in the Select OG:Image Source then All in One SEO will default back to the Default OG Image.
Default OG Image
The Default Image field allows you to choose an image from your Media Library or upload an image or paste in the URL for an image that will be used as the default OG:Image by social networking sites.
The OG:Image should be a minimum size of 600 pixels wide by 315 pixels high. However, Facebook recommends that you use images that are at least 1200 pixels wid by 630 pixels high for the best display on retina and high-resolution screens. See their documentation for more details. The image file should be no more than 5MB. The default image is only used when no OG:Image is specified for a specific Page or Post. The Select OG:Image Source gives you the option to manage which image gets used by default for the OG:Image, though you can override this in the settings on each individual post.
Default Image Width
You can set the image width that will be used for social media. Each social media network has their own preferred image size. For example, Facebook wants images to be 1200 pixels wide. Only enter the numbers here, do not enter words, for example: 1200.

Use Custom Field for Image
You can use this field to select a Custom Field to use for the OG:Image. Enter the name of the Custom Field in this box.

You can find your Facebook ID by following these steps:
- Go to your Facebook profile, right-click anywhere on the page, and select View Page Source.

Content Object Types
Here you can set the OG:Type for each type of content (Pages, Posts and Custom Post Types). For example, if you have a Custom Post Type for products you can select the object type to Product.
Note: There is a standardized list of Open Graph Object Types. A complete list can be found here - Open Graph Object Types. It is possible to generate errors that may impact how your content appears on certain social networking sites if you select an inappropriate Object Type.
Default Twitter Card
You can use this option to set the Twitter Card Type that will be used by default for all content. This setting can be overridden in the Social Settings tab on each post or page. You can find information on Twitter Card Types here.

Show Twitter Author

Run Shortcodes in Title
Enabling this option will ensure that any shortcodes in the Post or Page Title are run when generating the Open Graph Title.
Run Shortcodes in Description
Enabling this option will ensure that any shortcodes in the Post or Page content are run when generating the Open Graph Description. This only applies when Autogenerate OG Descriptions is enabled.
Use Content For Autogenerated OG Descriptions
By default, All in One SEO will use the Post Excerpt from a post as the autogenerated Open Graph description and then fall back to using the content if an excerpt is not present. Some users may want to change this behavior. This setting will always use the post content for autogenerated Open Graph descriptions and ignore the post excerpt.
WooCommerce users should note that this setting was added so that the autogenerated Open Graph descriptions would be generated from the product content instead of the Product Short Description. Enable this setting if you don’t want to use Product Short Description for your OG description.
Scan Social Meta
Some other plugins and themes may also output Open Graph meta tags. If there are conflicting or multiple Open Graph meta tags on your site then this can result in errors that may impact how your content appears on certain social networking sites. You will need to determine which plugin you want to use to control your Open Graph meta depending on what plugins you have installed and the purpose you are using them for.
The Scan Social Meta section enables you to scan your site for duplicate social meta tags which may be created by other plugins or your theme. This feature will only scan and alert you to potential duplicate meta, it will not fix the problems for you. In order to fix duplicate social meta tags, you will need to identify the source of the social meta and remove it.
