The information in this line "meta name="og:title" content="The Activists Who Embrace Nuclear Power" is incorrect. It is actually the page title of the first article on the home page.

How do I set the default title? Something like "SCGI Home Page" would work.

Meta names below are copied from the website header of http://www.thesciencecouncil.com/

<meta name="keywords" content="clean nuclear power, safe, reliable, 4th generation nuclear power, renewable, carbon free, smr" />
<meta name="og:title" content="The Activists Who Embrace Nuclear Power" />
<meta name="og:type" content="article" />
<meta name="og:url" content="http://www.thesciencecouncil.com/" />
<meta name="og:site_name" content="SCGI" />
<meta name="og:description" content="Promoting clean, safe, reliable 4th generation nuclear power, 24/7/365" />
<meta name="fb:app_id" content="243534739165617" />
<meta name="description" content="Promoting clean, safe, reliable 4th generation nuclear power, 24/7/365" />

Thanks,

Keith

Hi Keith

Joomla offers 2 ways of editing page metadata...

1. Add your core keywords to your Global Configuration > Site > Global site meta keywords. Presuming I understand you correctly I believe this is what you are looking for?
2. Add specific meta keywords (which may include core keywords) to articles using the metadata information (make sure the keywords listed here are in the content of the article, title, alias and meta description also).

Ciaran,

I've added Global/config/site metadata and article metadata but...
I did some digging and found that the title from the most recent (or top?) featured article on the home page becomes the info in "<meta name="og:title" content="article title automatically goes here" />"

To solve my problem I created an article with the title I wanted and assigned it a creation date of 1/1/2099 to keep it at the top of that page.
This seems strange. I may have inadvertently changed a subtle setting but at least it may resolve the initial problem (see attached Twitter capture) that displayed the first article data on Twitter.

Thanks for the reply and your help.

Hi Keith

Thank you for sharing your solution. :)

It is an area where I believe Joomla can certainly be improved. It may be worth looking into any available extensions that may help in better setting this type of metadata. Admittedly I do not know of any off-hand but I would be surprised if one is not available.

Ciaran,

Thanks for your support. I realize that this isn't a template-related issue but you're my last resort.
If I find a more elegant solution I'll let you know.
