Adding Open Graph tag to article

Asked by Linda 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

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

Hi 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

Hi 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/

BTW

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

Hi 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

Yes, 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.
