If you are using facebook plugin in workdpress, it adds opengraph meta tags in wordpress posts. At times we want to remove or customize some of these meta tags. This tutorial will cover how can you customize these meta tags in wordpress.
These are some of the meta tags which get added in wordpress post in head section.
<meta property="og:site_name" content="InfoHeap" /> <meta property="og:type" content="article" /> <meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" /> <meta property="fb:app_id" content="[fb_id]" /> <meta property="og:url" content="[url]" /> <meta property="og:title" content="[title]" /> <meta property="og:description" content="[description]" /> <meta property="article:published_time" content="[published_time]" /> <meta property="article:modified_time" content="[modified_time]" /> <meta property="article:section" content="Tutorials" /> <meta property="article:tag" content="[tag1]" /> <meta property="article:tag" content="[tag2]" />
