Title and Meta Description set via Yoast is ignored by Facebook auto-posting plugin(s)

I have an RTL website (www.aonews.mv) built with WordPress.

  • Yoast plugin was installed (primarily to set non-RTL titles and meta descriptions)
  • When manually sharing a link on Facebook, the English titles and meta descriptions are recognized flawlessly.
  • However when a plugin is used to auto-share newest posts on Facebook, no plugin (free or premium) seems to be recognizing English titles set via Yoast. All plugins basically pull the original RTL titles and descriptions from the post. I have tried some of the most top rated plugins that are used auto-post from WP to Social Networks - no success.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Disable all of yours plugins, and use the original Facebook Share Button : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button

You can just change the locale in the SDK URL. It is this line of code:

js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=xxxxxx&version=v2.0";

Just change to "en_US"
