How to Add custom subtitle as og:title to Facebook Open Graph Meta Data in WordPress Themes?
I am using wp subtitle plugin for headings in my Local language, and default wordpress title as English headings. I need the plugin generated subtitle as title of shared article on facebook.
get_the_subtitle();
above code is the plugin specific function to call sub headings.
I use code shown below (in function.php) as Facebook Open Graph Meta Data to achieve My goal.
echo 'meta property="og:title" content="' . get_the_subtitle() . '"/';
but only I get default wordpress title as og:title content. Here is the code in function php.
//Adding the Open Graph in the Language Attributes
function add_opengraph_doctype( $output ) {
return $output . ' xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"';
}
add_filter('language_attributes', 'add_opengraph_doctype');
//Lets add Open Graph Meta Info
function insert_fb_in_head() {
global $post;
if ( !is_singular()) //if it is not a post or a page
return;
echo 'meta property="fb:admins" content="XXXXXXX"/';
echo 'meta property="og:title" content="' . get_the_subtitle() . '"/';
echo 'meta property="og:type" content="article"/';
echo 'meta property="og:url" content="' . get_permalink() . '"/';
echo 'meta property="og:site_name" content="KERALA NEWS"/';
if(!has_post_thumbnail( $post-ID )) { //the post does not have featured image, use a default image
$default_image="http://www.example.com/wp-content/themes/dw-focus-master/assets/img/logo.png"; //replace this with a default image on your server or an image in your media library
echo 'meta property="og:image" content="' . $default_image . '"/';
}
else{
$thumbnail_src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post-ID ), 'medium' );
echo 'meta property="og:image" content="' . esc_attr( $thumbnail_src[0] ) . '"/';
}
echo "
";
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'insert_fb_in_head', 5 );
