you want to remove the OG Tags from any forum page???

something like this should do the trick:

add_action('wp_head', 'sp_remove_seo_og', 1);
function sp_remove_seo_og() {
    if (sp_is_forumpage()) remove_action( 'wpseo_head', array( $GLOBALS['wpseo_og'], 'opengraph' ), 30 );
}

added to your spFunctions.php file of your sp theme...

That sounds interesting. Will try that tomorrow. Google still indexes my forum with no problems. Possibly add open graph and featured image support for sp?  Add to the current seo plugin or add another. It's really needed for social sharing sp forum posts.

As it is now I would rather sites scrape sp title and description meta instead of the forum page default og tags.

Here is a screen grab of what i am seeing. The meta title tag is correct. But when social sharing any open graph tags take precedence.

No I have not done the code change yet, will do that in the morning. Just wanted to add a screen grab to my article for Joost to see. 

He could have helped with it. Instead he washed his hands of it and told me to hire a freelancer. Not good customer service especially after I sent him $89.

Thanks Steve, worked like a charm! wink

Maybe Joost De valk's success has went to his head. An old saying "too big for his britches" seems appropriate in this situation.

I sure am grateful for you guys friendly support. 

Regards, Ed

I'm wondering if these share sites have this url cached in?

I dumped my cache on CloudFlare. But when trying to share this post they scraped the same thing. And i can not see any og meta data in the source code, other than the twitter data.

But this is what hootsuite scraped.
