    Hi there,

    Thank you for making this awesome plugin. I am new with WordPress (also I have had an account for ages), so please bear with me. Everything works great, the only thing I can’t get to work correctly is showing the social card I have set up for my site on twitter (http://sbslex.org). The image for the homepage does not show on the twitter feed or on the tweet’s lightbox. When I post a different page on on twitter they do not show a picture on the twitter feed but it will show the text meta and picture once you click on the post’s lightbox (http://sbslex.org/formoms/). That said, I allowed the plugin to customize the head tag and have verified different pages on my site. Twitter will not verify the homepage.

    Thank you for your help

    Here are your Twitter card meta tags for your home page:

    <meta name="twitter:domain" content="sbslex.org"/>
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@sbslex"/>
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Step By Step | Step into Beautiful"/>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/>
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://sbslex.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Web-banner-01-1-600x600.png"/>

    Did you notice the error in the Twitter card validator?

    ERROR: Invalid value (message: Field description failed to validate because: text expects tag property, but not found in Map().)

    Is this a static page? Did you enter any text in the content or excerpt?

    BTW, keep in mind that the Twitter validator, like most social crawlers, time out after about 3 seconds. You may want to improve performance of your site:

    Thank you so much!!! This is a static page. I did enter content in the excerpt. I used a theme for the site and as much as I would like to improve the performance of the site I wouldn’t have a clue on how to start. But this info really does help! Thanks again!

    Ok so I went back to look at it and see where I missed. I’m at pages> social settings> description tab. All the fields there are grayed out. If I purchase the plugin and install it do you think it will take care of the twitter card? I had filled a description on a different part of the page that is part of the theme but it is not recognized by twitter.

    thanks!

    A standard Post editing page contains two areas to enter text: the content, and the excerpt. You need to have text in one / both of those for WPSSO to see it. 😉

    And yes, the Pro version provides editing features in the Social Settings metabox, along with Advanced plugin settings, and 3rd party plugin integration.

    js.
