Hi Michiel,

There is no such special functionality in Nicepage. Probably that can be set with some custom meta tag.

I've seen Wordpress read the headline as tags when sharing the website on facebook. That's why it says "Previous Next" and the rest of the as text when sharing the link.

Is it because I selected "Header over block"?
Is there a solution for this? I have now solved it temporarily by making adjustments in the database.

I hope I can explain.

When I want to share a website that I have made with Nicepage, I see that it reads the text of the banner on the homepage in the "Link-Preview".
It will then say "Previous, Next". Those are the banner navigation buttons. And then he shows the text that is in the header followed by the text of the 2nd block.

I can test this by going to this website: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

I searched in the database itself for "Previous, Next" and removed it everywhere. So if you take a test now, you won't see those words.
But through the website of developers.facebook.com, I do get this error message:

Missing Properties
The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id

It is so strange that the description of the website is taken from the first two blocks, and what I entered as the description in the nicepage template is not read.
In the YOAST plugin I also adjusted the settings of the image that should be shown when sharing the link.
The picture says the same as the image from the header.

Could that be a mistake in Nicepage's template?

Hi Michiel,

I assume that OG Tags will be helpful to represent the desired information in the FB post. Please check this article:
https://ahrefs.com/blog/open-graph-meta-tags/

Probably you will need to add the og title tag. You can insert them under the Theme >> Settings >> HTML >> Additional Meta tags.

Hi Michiel,

Yes, you need to add the complete meta tags with the whole syntax.
