    Hello Audiomonk,

    Thank you for the information. I have checked with above mentioned SEO framework and find that our cannonical link formation is same as single media page. You can the following url for refrenece.

    I can see it is the same on yours, so am not sure what is changing it on my website.

    Hello Audiomonk,

    Please try the following code. It will filter the canonical URL for single media page.

    
/**
 * Filter canonical url
 *
 * @param string $canonical_url Canonical url.
 * @param int    $post_id Post Id.
 *
 * @return string
 */
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_rel_canonical_output', function ( $canonical_url, $post_id ) {

	if ( ! function_exists( 'mpp_is_single_media' ) || ! mpp_is_single_media() ) {
		return $canonical_url;
	}

	$media = mpp_get_media( $post_id );

	return mpp_get_media_permalink( $media );

}, 99, 2 );

    Let me know if it works or not.

    Regards
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,

    It didn’t work unfortunately. Both links stayed the same when I ran the URL through the facebook debugger. After I tried this, I disabled The SEO Framework and the two links matched, but then facebook said the image wasn’t defined correctly. I checked the OG tags and they were defined correctly? Really am stuck on this one.

    Hi Audiomonk,
    I am sorry for the trouble.

    As we were not able to reproduce it, we are lost here.

    If we provide you admin details for the above demo installation, Will you be able to help us reproduce the issue?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    I know the feeling of being lost Brajesh. Thanks for all of your and everyone else’s help with this. I don’t think I’ll be able to reproduce it on your demo installation, you can easily see it on mine, if you go to a sample gallery, for example..

    Right this very moment,I think I know now what is causing the problem. The galleries won’t show to anyone who isn’t logged in. So when facebook is trying to scrape, they aren’t logged in so they’ll get redirected to the home page. I just have to find out the setting to allow the public to see the galleries. I’m almost certain now this is the case.

    I might find it in the meantime, but in case I don’t, where would the setting be to allow the public to see the galleries and images in the galleries?

    Hi Audiomonk,
    That explains it. Is your gallery/media non public? Only public gallery/media are visible.

    Regards

    It’s been that long since I changed any settings, where would I change it so that member galleries are viewable when not logged in ?

    Hi Audiomonk,
    To set the default status globally, Please visit Dashboard->MediaPress->settings.

    For existing Gallery and Media, you will need to change it manually. Changing the gallery permission will not make a private media public. You will need to edit it (you can bulk edit from gallery page) for the media too.

    Regards
    Brajesh
