Default Social Share Info

In a perfect world - we would set a unique custom social share information (title, text, and image) for each page on the site. However, that would take a decent amount of time each time a page is published to create this content. As a workaround, we have the following system in place to set default values that can be overridden with more handcrafted details.

How this works is - progressing through each level (1,2,3) - we will set the values for the Meta Tag Title, Meta Tag Text, and Meta Tag Image - to ensure always populated, but then as we progress through each level - we will overwrite if content exists.

By default, we will use site details. Then we will override those with the default social share info provided on the special tagged page. THEN - if page-level social share details have been set, we will overwrite the default social share settings with those (which overwrote the site defaults).

##1 - Site details (pulled from site settings)

Meta Tag Title:

  1. site.headline
  2. site.name (if no headline set)

Meta Tag Text:

  1. site.subheadline

Meta Tag Image:

  1. site.meta_image_url

#2 - Default Social Share info (set by user on special page)

NOTE: This has not been configured for VFCA - please contact For Purpose if you would like to utilize this functionality of the theme.

This is optional (but already configured for the site). These details will override those set in #1. We have this basic page tagged default_social_share_info already set up here:

NOTE: The "Prompt for posting" checkbox must be checked on this page for these to take effect.

Meta Tag Title:

  1. page.headline

Meta Tag Text:

  1. page.excerpt
  2. page.basic.content

Meta Tag Image:

  1. page.meta_image_url
  2. page.attachment.url

#3 - Page specific meta details (set by user on individual page)

Meta Tag Title:

  1. page.headline

Meta Tag Text:

  1. page.excerpt

Meta Tag Image:

  1. page.meta_image_url
