* Hello,
* Otto, I would like to disable the schema from your plugin, as I already use WordPress
SEO and your amazing plugin is overwriting my custom excerpt.
* Thanks

* SFC does not have an option to do this. You can either use the sfc_meta filter
to eliminate the meta SFC is creating, or disable the SEO plugin from creating
that data.

* Otto,
* You mean I should remove the following lines?
* ```
// add meta tags for *everything*
add_action('wp_head','sfc_base_meta');
function sfc_base_meta() {
$post='';
$fbmeta = array();
$options = get_option('sfc_options');
// exclude bbPress post types
if ( function_exists('bbp_is_custom_post_type') && bbp_is_custom_post_type() ) return;
$excerpt = '';
if (is_singular()) {
global $wp_the_query;
if ( $id = $wp_the_query->get_queried_object_id() ) {
$post = get_post( $id );
}
// get the content from the main post on the page
$content = sfc_base_make_excerpt($post);
$title = get_the_title($post->ID);
$title = strip_tags($title);
$title = html_entity_decode($title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$title = htmlspecialchars_decode($title);
$permalink = get_permalink();
$fbmeta['og:type'] = 'article';
$fbmeta['og:title'] = esc_attr($title);
$fbmeta['og:url'] = esc_url($permalink);
$fbmeta['og:description'] = esc_attr($content);
} else { // non singular pages need images and descriptions too
if (!empty($options['default_image'])) {
$fbmeta['og:image'][] = $options['default_image'];
}
if (!empty($options['default_description'])) {
$fbmeta['og:description'] = esc_attr($options['default_description']);
}
}
if (is_home()) {
$fbmeta['og:type'] = 'blog';
$fbmeta['og:title'] = get_bloginfo("name");
$fbmeta['og:url'] = esc_url(get_bloginfo("url"));
}
// stuff on all pages
$fbmeta['og:site_name'] = get_bloginfo("name");
if (!empty($options["appid"])) $fbmeta['fb:app_id'] = esc_attr($options["appid"]);
$fbmeta['og:locale'] = sfc_get_locale();
$fbmeta = apply_filters('sfc_base_meta',$fbmeta, $post);
foreach ($fbmeta as $prop=>$content) {
if (is_array($content)) {
foreach ($content as $item) {
echo "\n";
if ($prop == 'og:image') echo "\n";
}
} else {
echo "\n";
if ($prop == 'og:image') echo "\n";
}
}
}
```
* and
* ```
add_settings_section('sfc_meta', __('Facebook Metadata', 'sfc'), 'sfc_meta_text', 'sfc');
add_settings_field('sfc_default_image', __('Default Image', 'sfc'), 'sfc_default_image', 'sfc', 'sfc_meta');
add_settings_field('sfc_default_description', __('Default Description', 'sfc'), 'sfc_default_description', 'sfc', 'sfc_meta');
```
* Is that so?
* Thanks

* No, you can just `remove_action('wp_head','sfc_base_meta');` in your own code.
Simpler.
* But, note that doing that will basically break the plugin. The results you get
will not be optimal.

* Thanks Otto.
* For those using Yoast SEO Plugin and rather use your custom made excerpt, please
add the following lines to your functions.php in your current theme.
* remove_action(‘wp_head’,’sfc_base_meta’); // Removes Simple Facebook Connect
Meta
remove_action(‘wp_head’,’sgc_base_meta’);// Removes Simple Google Connect
Meta
* This way you can still use Otto plugins with WordPress SEO from Yoast.

* A better solution is to let SFC and SGC do their thing, and disable the OpenGraph
functionality of the SEO plugin. SFC has been tuned to do this properly for Facebook
and Google.
