Search Form titles showing when sharing site URLs on LinkedIn

Hi Trevor.

When sharing URLs on LinkedIn to posts on our site, the og:title is overruled by S&F and regardless of the post we’re sharing, the preview uses the title of one of our S&F Search Forms. When we disable the plugin, the issue ceases to occur. The posts we’re sharing don’t include a Search Form within the post.

Thanks,

Jamie

How are you adding the OG data? Are you using Yoast SEO or another tool? What does the https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/ say?

Hi Trevor,

We are indeed using Yoast. Here’s the post inspector result: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/internchina.com%2Fcoop-scholarships.

Cheers,

It would require me to be logged in to see that. Can you make a screenshot of it?

Did you try any alternative plugin for this task? For example, this one:

Hi Jamie

I am sorry, my last post was not clear. That was my fault. I cannot see the Linkedin report, as it asks me to log in. That was what I wanted you to take a screenshot of.

This will be very difficult to tie down, as it appears to be a combination of Search & Filter pro, Toolset and Yoast SEO. Any one of these could be the real cause.

I cannot see where it is getting the form title from. On the page itself, in the source HTML, I can clearly see:

<meta property="og:title" content="Co-op Scholarships" />

And if I search the page IC Blog Search simply doesn’t appear anywhere on the page.

Are you using a tool to upload the URLs to Linkedin? Does the same problem happen with Facebook?

I have had a really good look and I can’t see anything wrong.
