Adding Open Graph Tag To Article
Linda
Hi, I see you can add an Open Graph tag to a SP Pagebuilder page, but can you also add a OG tag to an individual article as this is what we are using for new items and of course shared on social media? Thanks

Accepted AnswerHi Paul, Thanks for your response. I will look in the template options. I was hoping to avoid introducing an extra extension, but I may have to resort to plan B. Regards, Linda

Accepted AnswerHi Linda,
Open Graph may be supported by your templates, for example, Helix Ultimate has such a option/feature in Helix Template Options - Blog - Details - OpenGraph tags On/Off. Others may do not have it.
In some cases, it's worth to install extra extension for OG tags and use it instead of template features. It depends what better works for your website and editors. For example: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/site-management/seo-a-metadata/tagz-open-graph/

Accepted AnswerBTW
In Helix based templates - Image used for OG img tag is taken only from "Blog Option" tab (where you can upload image).

Accepted AnswerHi Paul, I have found that Open Graph was disabled in the template options. I wasn't aware this existed so thanks for the heads up on that and also for the extra link. Really helpful. Regards, Linda

Accepted AnswerYes, so now you have choice. Just check what better works. You're welcome.
BTW If you care about good SEO content and you have Blog section I also recommend using "Route 66" extension, even a free version.
