Hello again dear support department of SH404SEF

Regarding the configuration of the social SEF part i noticed that unless i manually insert in the Pages And Metas part information for an article for example,the description and title wont appear if i share the link in facebook. I am pretty sure i configured the facebook correct.

In the above picture as you can see the description is not inserted in the open graph. The title and description is inserted manually in the titles and metas page.

If i dont insert it manually the plug in wont work and will look like this
https://prnt.sc/qtdrxg

I also encounter a problem with the Search Console. I dont know if its on the plug in only yet but i have to ask. After i insert a site map with JL Sitemap Extension in search console it gets the result in,but the search console excludes some duplicate pages. Problem is some pages are live pages regarding the live site and not the edit ones. Is there any confliction between the Search Console and the SH404 or the sitemap?

Thanks in advance

Please kindly explain the definion of Real URL. For the Social SEO configuration? Or about the search console?

Hi

I just need to have a URL on your site where I can see for myself what you are talking about, and then open the source of the page to see what's inside. Just a URL to your site.

Best regards

Hi

On that page, right now, the OG:description (used by FB for description) and the meta description is exactly the same.

This is also what Facebook is using:

So all looks likt it's supposed to be. Is this a "working" page? Then I would need a link to a page that's not working.

Best regards

These results are by default SEO enabled. Description is obtained only if i manualy add meta title and description

Yes, this page does not have a description aside from "BitDefender Solutions".

So none of this is related to Facebook. It's just that your pages do not have a meta description?

Then when you add one, that description is used also for Facebook which is how it's supposed to work.

Why does this particular page has a meta description of "Bitdefender Solutions"? It seems to me you may have set this meta description in the article or on the menu item in Joomla.

Correct. Just checked the in Joomla description of joomla. What i am trying to understand is if there are no manual title or description add on from the user, Will the SH404 take auto information for the page or not? because now the same page is completely empty from any manual info

It will.

because now the same page is completely empty from any manual info

If that page has meta description set in Joomla, it absolutely has meta data and sH404SEF will not generate one automatically. If a page has no meta description, then one will be generated if possible.
In the case of that page, it does have a description which is why none is generated by sh404SEF.
