As a result, no image, the wrong image or a slideshow of images (some of which have nothing to do with the event) are displayed when shared on social media. In addition, the title and description shared are the &#8220;best guess&#8221; of the social platform, not the title and description specified in the All-in-One plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Another bug: The event page editor does not display the main All in One form for search, only the one for social, and the one for social is missing the link to the Facebook debugger. Again, this is not true for regular pages and posts, only Events Calendar event posts.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a minor problem. There are only two major SEO plugins, and All in One SEO is one of them. It has 1,000,000+ installations. As I&#8217;m sure you recognize, the ability to share events on social media is crucial to getting an audience.<\/p>\n<p>Would you look into this problem and work with the All in One creator (Semper Plugins), if necessary, to find a solution?<\/p>\n<p>This topic has been raised on your boards before, but you closed it without addressing it:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xcwJ3LSgyk\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/og-image-description-entries-ignored\/\">OG image \/ description entries ignored<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;OG image \/ description entries ignored&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/og-image-description-entries-ignored\/embed\/#?secret=cp0prqOQLb#?secret=xcwJ3LSgyk\" data-secret=\"xcwJ3LSgyk\" width=\"580\" height=\"327\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For your reference, here is what the Facebook debugger shows for a regular news post from our site:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/tools\/debug\/sharing\/?q=https:\/\/nyharborparks.org\/a-conversation-on-freedom\/<\/p>\n<p>And here is what it shows for an event created with the Events Calendar &#8212; where, as you can see, there is a message saying no OG tags are present.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/tools\/debug\/sharing\/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnyharborparks.org%2Fevent%2Fdiscover-fort-tompkins%2F<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try sharing yourself to see the results, use these same posts for testing, as we have not bothered to add meta information to others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regular blog post where All in One works properly: https:\/\/nyharborparks.org\/a-conversation-on-freedom\/<\/li>\n<li>Event post where it does not: https:\/\/nyharborparks.org\/event\/discover-fort-tompkins\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many thanks for your attention to this matter.<\/p>\n<p>Sheryl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1414447","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>OG meta info ignored by Events Calendar -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/og-meta-info-ignored-by-events-calendar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"OG meta info ignored by Events Calendar -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am using All in One SEO to add social meta tags to https:\/\/nyharborparks.org\/ (and numerous other sites) and it works as it should for pages and regular blog posts, but not for events generated with the Events Calendar.
