Why does echo on functions.php not yield result in source code?
I follow the tutorial in How to Add Facebook Open Graph Meta Data in WordPress Themes and add some echo
code in functions.php
both in the main theme and child theme. However, when I check the source code of an individual page, the tags don't show up. Why is that?
The script is below:
//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="Ooker"/';
echo 'meta property="og:title" content="' . get_the_title() . '"/';
echo 'meta property="og:type" content="article"/';
echo 'meta property="og:url" content="' . get_permalink() . '"/';
echo 'meta property="og:site_name" content="Quả cầu"/';
if(!has_post_thumbnail( $post-ID )) { //the post does not have featured image, use a default image
$default_image="http://example.com/image.jpg"; //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 );
