If it is as simple as replacing one expression with another, a very simple way can be to make a copy of all OxWall files and folders on your personal computer (excludes ow_userfiles which is huge and does not contain code files),

You make a backup of all this, and with the text editor -free -atom.io you can open the whole tree and do a global "search and replace" of "<meta name" with "<meta property".

To download and later upload all these folders you can do it by FTP with the winscp.net program or another similar one

Once the files are uploaded, you have to activate the DEBUG mode, view the web and deactivate the DEBUG mode, here it indicates the steps to follow:

But i looking for remove the script that add the wrong meta.

I remember long time ago someone told me about where all SEO is handle in oxwall. I think it is a php file with name SEO but i forget where it is placed?

Could someone help me find it?

I will try read and understand the code how it works and take backup before do any changes inside the code.

Thanks

But how to do that? I not use FTP on my website. 

Patricia you are skilled and have many programs installed

Patrica could you "search" on your test website for "og:type" and see if you find the place it add wrong meta

How to write this code correct and proper?

The value "addMetaInfo" is create wrong attribute for facebook.

        //add og

        $imageUrl = BOL_SeoService::getInstance()->getSocialLogoUrl();

        if( !empty($params["image"]) )

        {

            $imageUrl = trim($params["image"]);

        }

        $document->addMetaInfo("og:type", "website");

        $document->addMetaInfo("og:site_name", OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'site_name'));

        if( $title )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("og:title", $title);

        }

        if( $desc )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("og:description", $desc);

        }

        if( $imageUrl )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("og:image", $imageUrl);

        }

        if( $title )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("twitter:title", $title);

        }

        if( $desc )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("twitter:description", $desc);

        }

        if( $imageUrl )

        {

            $document->addMetaInfo("twitter:image", $imageUrl);

        }

    }

    protected function processMetaText( $text, $escape = true, $maxLength = null )

    {

        if( $escape )

        {

            $text = htmlspecialchars(trim($text));

        }

        else

        {

            $text = str_replace('"', "", strip_tags($text));

        }

        if( $maxLength !== null && mb_strlen($text) > $maxLength )

        {

            $text = UTIL_String::truncate($text, $maxLength - 3, '...');

        }

        return $text;

    }

}

 $document->addMetaInfo("og:type", "website");

i need some help i not good at php and my feelins says that is not correct code to replace. i just guessing wild and maybe i can learn something if i get the correct code

but it did not work, i was get

<meta name="og:type" content="property" />

with your code

it is the "<meta name=" that need bee switch to "<meta property="

hmmm interesting :)

I know there is a solution but i not that skilled about php so i can solve this

okey i wait for your coffe kicked in :)

(i agree the best would bee remove all that oxwall SEO code because it is out dated and make you website not visible when put out dated metas on auto in top of pages.)

1. Remove all that code at end of ow_system_plugins/base/classes/event_handler.php

2. Add new metas in admin panel /admin/settings/page "custom head section".

Not a proper solution, but i think a quick fix.

A small step in to future with better SEO.

This should bee forward to oxwall TEAM to fix in next version.

Its a dirty fix but this is just to give you an idea that it can be done. It can be easily done with a plugin by calling:

getMeta();

setMeta();

No here is the fix itself.

find: $eventManager->bind("base.provide_page_meta_info", array($this, 'onProvideMetaInfoForPage'));

replace with:    

// $eventManager->bind("base.provide_page_meta_info", array($this, 'onProvideMetaInfoForPage'));
       
 $eventManager->bind("base.provide_page_meta_info", array($this, 'mySeoFix'));

Now find: public function init()

add this code right about it:

public function mySeoFix()
    {
        $codes = "<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"website\" />";
    OW::getDocument()->addCustomHeadInfo($codes);
    }

He created a new function that was replace old one.

still i think you need delete the old SEO code in ow_system_plugins/base/classes/event_handler.php

hmmm

interesting indeed, many solutions provided :)

I think i go for my quick fix remove code and add new metas in header section ,but all ideas are welcome 

Thanks Marcus!

refuse read metas if add them in head section? 

why? what is wrong?

look like it need bee insirted before head section

so back to zero again 

You have to do like this:

1. Go to ow_system_plugins/base/classes/event_handler.php and end of the file remove or out comment all the lines where it add wrong facebook meta:

Example:

// $document->addMetaInfo("og:type", "website");

2. Go to /ow_system_plugins/base/init.php and at top of file add code like this:

function modify_custom_meta_property(){    

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('og:type', 'website', 'property');    

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('og:title', 'Your awsome title here', 'property');

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('og:url', 'your website url here', 'property');

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('og:description', 'your website description here', 'property');

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('og:image', 'your image url here', 'property');

OW::getDocument()->addMetaInfo('fb:app_id', 'app id here', 'property');

}

OW::getEventManager()->bind(OW_EventManager::ON_BEFORE_DOCUMENT_RENDER, 'modify_custom_meta_property');

Clear your website cache and look the source code of your page, now correct metas should bee added and the wrong metas gone.

Thanks everyone for solve this SEO issue with some tricks.

Hopefully they will fix this in a new oxwall version so you not need add this everytime there is a update. Because it will bee overwrite when you upgrade oxwall to a new version.

Another option you create a plugin that do all this
