    Hi!

    Using the social media sharing generates these errors:

    Twitter/Linkedin – When I use characters such as -‘/ etc its replaced with the unicode of said character – which makes it look wierd.

    No image loads for Linkedin?

    Facebook works just fine.

    Using YOAST SEO.

    When removing the characters – works just fine (except image in Linkedin).

    Hey there,

    Upon further investigation, this is because the title is passed through esc_attr which strips invalid or special characters for security reasons. There’s no workaround for this but to not use special characters in your title.

    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    Please check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10042786/how-to-successfully-implement-ogimage-for-the-linkedin

    SEO Yoast should provide prefix too, and you may want to contact them.

    Thanks!
