Report a bug

Not sure if this is a bug, however, under my Site Settings HTML - Meta Tags I can insert Twitter Card and Open Graph information, however, nice page generates some of this info, but when I over ride it I wind up doubling my syntax. For example Twitter:Description the content is "", when I add this to Meta Tags I get two entries, your default an my change.

Is that good practice to over ride a previous value this way?

regards,

Ken

Hi Kenneth,

Could you please attach a screenshot of the doubled code you get. And also provide the meta tags you are inserting. You can do that using the code syntax here or attach a text document with the meta tags.

Hello Hella,

Attached are two screen shots as per your request. I just used a boiler plate for now (still doing research), as you can see from the comment line <!-- Twitter Card data --> down, that your default code and my are duplicated.

eg:

meta name:"twitter:description" content .........
meta property:"og:description" content ..........

I am not sure if it matters that there is duplicate lines,

Hope this helps,

regards,

Ken

Hi Kenneth,

Unfortunately, there is no option to disable OG tags at this time. But it should not cause major problems. I've added the request to disable OG tags to our wish list.

Hi Olivia,

Not sure if I want to have it disabled, that could be an option when someone creates their own Twitter and OG tags. These tags are good and probably need to be personalized.

Right now the only option is to edit the source code and remove the duplicates which I don't think is a good idea.

I will leave it with your capable hands to come up with a workable solution,

Ken

Hi Kenneth,

In the meantime, you can keep both. For example, OG tags for Facebook and Twitter tags for Twitter.
I did not find any information about possible conflicts.

Please let us know if you need our further assistance here.

Hi Hella, I may not have described the issue very clearly.

By default Nicepage will generate

<meta name="twitter:description" content="">

When I modify the site properties I can create:

<meta name="twitter:description" content="Pools and Spas a must have">

When I view the source code I will have something like this:

<meta name="twitter:description" content="">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Pools and Spas a must have">

I doubt if there is an issue with this, the browser will interpret the both these lines and over ride the previous with the last line.

regards,

Ken

Kenneth,

Please make sure that you don't the same "twitter:description" meta tags in both Site and Page settings.

Also, please attach your project to this ticket, we will check it.

Hello Chris,

Attached is the project and two screenshots, before and after, I just added the twitter:description for now, you can see there is two, how would remove the old one without editing the source code.

Maybe this description should default to the Meta Description,

Sorry the project is so large, I have multiple images duplicated because of another bug I reported, I cannot view all my images so I have to keep uploading the same picture as I make a change.

regards,

ken

Hi Kenneth,

The Twitter metatags appear in the page source when the Social Icons control with Twitter icon is added to the Footer. But for some reason, there is no option to change the description.
I've asked our developers about this issue. We'll let you know when we receive any news from them.
