I have the same issue! All of the sudden I’m getting ‘duplicate meta description’ errors in Google Webmaster Tools.

In case anyone still has this problem, someone posted a gist on the original GitHub link above that can fix the issue between Yoast and Co-Authors Plus.

This is great, thanks! Solves the author page problem.
Unfortunately, no solution to the FB problem. I feel like enough people use the Yoast plugin that it would make sense to try to fix this.
I fixed the co-authors/guest author/Yoast facebook issue. Put this in functions.php or your site plugin.
// Fix guest authors FB issue
add_filter(‘wpseo_opengraph_author_facebook’, ‘my_wpseo_facebook’);
function my_wpseo_facebook($fb) {
if(! function_exists(‘get_coauthors’) )
return $fb;
$coauthors = get_coauthors($GLOBALS[‘post’]->id);
if (!is_array( $coauthors ) || empty($coauthors))
return $fb;
foreach ( $coauthors as $coauthor ) {
if ( ! isset( $coauthor->facebook ) || empty( $coauthor->facebook ) )
continue;
return $coauthor->facebook;
}
return $fb;
}
Hey Aaron,
While the code on github that bcox posted worked for me, your Facebook workaround didn’t. :/ I pasted it in functions.php right after the github one.
Any ideas?
I’m also using Yoast SEO and Co-Authors on the Newsmag theme. (www.cincistreetvibes.org)
