Sharing and Related no longer working correctly

[Lorette Alpers]

Since updating to 4.0 the events I have added do not share to facebook correctly. I click on the facebook icon and it links to a different event and picture. If I link to a event that was entered prior to the update it still works correctly.

Here is an example: http://fairfindz.com/event/4153/

Also there are two places were the event page says “related”.

The first one (there are 3 identical columns-saying the exact same thing in each one) is not related to the event in any way and the date must be the date I entered it rather that event date. How do I change or remove this?

The second place related event is show farther down on the page is correct-showing actually related events with accurate info and graphics so I want to keep that.

Thank you so much for your help. I am in the middle of a launch and hope to get these issues resolved soon.

Best,

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

For the first related events that looks to be coming from your theme.

The bottom one is from our plugin. I am not sure how it is put there, but the developer of the theme might have a way to remove it.

As for the sharing.

I am limited in supporting 3rd party plugins, but can try to get to the bottom of this with you. Are you using Jetpack for the sharing buttons?

I visited a bunch of events and Twitter always worked. The only one that did not work was the link you provided.

Could you change the slug from numbers to something else and see if that helps?

Do you have another example of an event not working?

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply.
Here are a couple of examples of new events not linking to facebook correctly. Both I added recently. I am using Jetpack but I don’t believe anything has changed with their plugin recently.

Thanks for your help.

Brian,

Just a note: The Eagle Country Christmas displays the wrong image (different event) and the other one links to NC State fair with a image of my “logo”.

We do not specially add any coding to help with Facebook Sharing so I cannot support it.

It seems to work most of the time, but for these cases I would recommended using a plugin such as Yoast SEO that enables you to set the image and other information with the correct og tags in the event itself.

They would do a better job of that, then anything we can do.
