Hello, I would like to report a bug about being unable to disable Route 66 open graph functions. I already use another extension for that, and Route 66 causes duplicated OG meta tags. When I go to any Joomla article administration, tab “publishing”, and set “OG Type” as “none”, other options disappear. But when I hit “save”, nothing is saved and previously automatically hidden options (OG Title, OG Description and OG Image) appear again. I wasn't able to find any possibility to disable the OG meta tags by Route 66 globally. I would rather like to use Route 66 for OG meta tags, but the another extension gives me the possibility to set global OG image in case that no image is set for the certain article or menu item.

Furthermore, I would like to ask a question about the focus keyword from SEO settings of Joomla article. It often says that “Keyphrase in introduction: Your keyphrase or its synonyms do not appear in the first paragraph.” It is there, but in another grammatical case. This is not a problem in English, but in another languages which use more than one case. Should I always try to use the focus keyword in the first paragraph only in the nominative case (the word's “default” form)? Google mostly seems to understand cases.

And third, maybe this is just a display issue, but when I go to any Joomla article administration, tab “SEO”, the preview sometimes shows the search engine unfriendly URLs, such as “?view=article&id=189:something&catid=104” and says that the focus keyword is not in the slug. But on the frontend all works fine, the URLs settings by Route 66 works like a charm!

Thank you so much for this amazing extension and for your time!

Hi Jindrich,

There is no option indeed but you can find the plugin named "Content - Route 66 Metadata" and just disable it.

Regarding the focus keyword, this is just a recommendation tool. As you correctly wrote, Google will understand cases so you are fine.

Finally, regarding the URL preview I will take a look and if there is an issue it will be fixed. Thank you for reporting.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards
