 * I am also seeing this error on two separate sites.
 * I found these two entries in Simple History for one of the sites:
 * 9/9/23 Updated plugin “Download Monitor” to 4.8.10 from 4.8.9
   3/9/23 Updated 
   plugin “Download Monitor” to 4.8.9 from 4.8.6
 * Does that mean skipping 4.8.7 or 4.8.8 broke something? How can I fix it?

 * ~This is an issue for me too, also on 6.2.2~
 * Sorry, I was mistaken; it is a while since I used the feature and forgot one 
   has to save the draft before the link appears. My bad!

 * Yes, I requested the update from the updates page in the backend.
 * I’ve a couple more yet-to-be-updated sites hosted on the same environment. You’re
   welcome to take a look in if it would help…
 * (btw, is that REALLY your website linked from your profile? 😉 )

 * Just adding my voice here — seeing a changelog is an important factor in deciding
   whether to update right away (risky), to wait a couple of days for any potential
   issues to emerge in the support forum, or if it can safely be left until the 
   weekend maintenance window.

 * Hmmm. That’s odd. I’ve actually got two different (private) P2 installs, both
   on different hosts, and they’re both showing the same problem. But yours clearly
   isn’t.
 * I’ve tried disabling that last plugin, and I’ve tried a different browser. Not
   sure where to look next, TBH. I think I’ll try spinning up a public P2 later 
   to see if it happens again and so folks can take a look if necessary…

 * [@aditya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aditya/), I understand that it 
   is much easier to troubleshoot problems with access to the site, but it just 
   can’t be done in this case. The site contains commercially sensitive information
   and access is tightly restricted.
 * EDIT: Removed unnecessary comment 😉

 * [@aditya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aditya/) – It’s a private installation,
   so sadly I can’t link to it. The steps to replicate given above have been tested
   on it, though.
 * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) – Good question. I’ve deactivated
   all the plugins on the site except for “Registered users only”, which we use 
   to keep it private. The theme is plain vanilla and unaltered. The problem is 
   still there.
 * There’s a screenshot showing the issue here:

 * That’s very responsive support, writing an entire blog post about my question
   moments before I even asked it 🙂 Thanks, RoamFree, for the steer.
 * FWIW I had to add *both* the filters shown in that thread before the Jetpack 
   OG tags went away.
 * This is what I added to functions.php:
 *     ```
       // stop Jetpack plugin from adding its own Open Graph tags -- leave it to the Yoast SEO plugin
   
       add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_opengraph', '__return_false', 99 );
       add_filter( 'jetpack_enable_open_graph', '__return_false', 10, 3);
       ```

 * I have exactly the same issue.
 * However, I’m seeing both Jetpack and Yoast SEO post a snippet of content as “
   og:description”.
 * To me it looks like Yoast SEO is doing a slightly better job of posting Open 
   Graph attributes. Nonetheless, we need to turn one of these off. Has anyone got
   any ideas on how to do that?

 * Not sure if it is the answer you are looking for, but I found that Google very
   much likes images to be served from the same domain as the HTML, particularly
   for Google News.
 * It is easy to fix; just set W3TC to not use the CDN when serving requests to 
   Googlebot. I guess this could make Google perceive a site as being slightly slower,
   but I’m willing to live with that.
