Please give us a description of what happened

add_filter( 'wpseo_title', array( $this, 'replace_title_text_pre' ), 10, 1 ); add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_title', array( $this, 'replace_title_text_pre' ), 10, 1 ); add_filter( 'wpseo_metadesc', array( $this, 'replace_title_text_pre' ), 10, 1 ); add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_desc', array( $this, 'replace_title_text_pre' ), 10, 1 );

None of these hooks work any more, it stopped working a few moths ago. Not sure why.

To be clear, the hooks do get called, but they do not allow changing of the og:title or og:description fields.

[MGParisi]

Also it appears that the og:title and og:description use to come from the Yoast Meta field an Yoast Description, but they no longer do. They now come from the Excerpt and page title.

[MGParisi]

add_filter('wpseo_title', array('custom_og_title'), 10, 2);

public function custom_og_title($title, $presentation = NULL) { return 'CHANGED!' }

Doesn't change, this is on a custom content type and ASTRA theme, but I think its related to yoast, though I can't find the change or where it happened.

Hi @MGParisi

Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin and for creating the issue.

I tried to replicate the issue and noticed that the wpseo_title, wpseo_opengraph_title, wpseo_metadesc, and wpseo_opengraph_desc filters are working without any problems.

Please try the following function to check this further and let us know the results.

/**
 * Filters the og: description.
 *
 * @param string $description The current page's generated og description.
 *
 * @return string The filtered meta og description.
 * Change the page ID 386 with the page ID at which you are testing
 */
function prefix_filter_og_description_example( $description ) {
  if ( is_page( 386 ) ) {
    $description = 'My custom custom meta description';
  }
  return $description;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_opengraph_desc', 'prefix_filter_og_description_example' );

If the steps to replicate it are entirely different, please share the code so we can check this further.

We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to help you.

It is not working. I used the same code, without the if statement as you did. Its not working in the Page, or the Posts, or any custom content.

[MGParisi]

I've isolated it to the Blog2Social plugin, I will file a ticket there.
