    It added its own og tags, so now I have duplicates! The only solution was to deactivate the plugin.

    Hi @hungryghostdesign

    When you share a post on Facebook, or when Jetpack Social publishes a post to your Facebook page, Facebook crawls the page and looks for Open Graph meta tags in the head to build a complete post preview (with an image, title, description, …). Jetpack automatically creates these Open Graph Meta tags for you unless you already use another Open Graph plugin, in which case we let the other plugin handle things.

    https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-social/troubleshooting-jetpack-social/#jetpack-and-open-graph-tags

    You can see what Facebook sees by entering one of your posts’ URLs in Facebook Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

    I would recommend using the URL above to figure out if the Open Graph Meta Tags are properly added to your site, or if something seems wrong with them. It may be that you have not one, but 2 sets of Open Graph Meta tags. One is added by Jetpack and the other could be added by a plugin such as Yoast SEO. As mentioned before, we automatically disable our open graph tags when this happens as Facebook doesn’t always like duplicate tags. 

    If you would rather just use Jetpack’s open graph tags, you can use this plugin to keep them on:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/always-use-jetpack-open-graph/

    If you prefer not to use the Jetpack Open Graph tags, you’ll want to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or to your plugin, to deactivate Jetpack’s Open Graph meta tags:

    add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_open_graph', '__return_false' );

    Let me know if you have any questions about this!
