Control over Facebook Tags

Is there a way to control & manage Facebook meta tags (og:image, og:description, og:title, etc) within a Store? There doesn't seem to be any way to acces the <header> block for the store, each catagory, or each product. I would prefer to write some code to dynamically do this according to my criteria, not Weebly's.

Hi, there.

No, I believe that is something Facebook controls. Sorry about that.

Thanks,

No Erin, this is not something FB controls. I want to be able to specify certain HTML codes within Weebly's store pages. I need to be able to do this on a per category and per product basis. 

This is somewhat possible for regular web pages within Weebly's SEO settings, but those are not exposed within a Store.

I have done this with stores hosted elsewhere, but Weebly doesn't seem to expose the <header> and <footer> tags for individual products and categories.

Hello, I am trying to do this as well. Facebook no longer allows users to post a link and then select a preview image. So, in the header of the Weebly page, we could essentially type in the meta tag that facebook looks at that tells facebook where to get the image from. Here is an example. I would like to have the option to add this meta data in the header in Weebly.

<meta property="og:title" content="European Travel Destinations">

<meta property="og:description" content="Offering tour packages for individuals or groups.">

<meta property="og:image" content="http://euro-travel-example.com/thumbnail.jpg"> <meta property="og:url" content="http://euro-travel-example.com/index.htm">

After more investigation I see that although it seems as if we can go in "Themes" and edit the HTML, it has no effect on this og metadata. When I go to the facebook developer tools to preview what the post would look like, I see that there is metadata for og that is generated by Weebly that was not affected by the changes I made in the metadata in the header under Themes. Here is the link for the facebook preview for posts: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

Can we please have access to the og meta data?

Hi Bernadette! It is: www.etcontacthub.com and the metadata I was trying to include is: 

<meta property="og:title" content="ET Contact Hub">
<meta property="og:description" content="Your one stop spot for ET contact resources from around the globe.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://etcontacthub.com/uploads/1/3/6/0/13608955/et-contact-hub-logo_orig.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://etcontacthub.com/">

Try this instead:

<meta property="og:title" content="ET Contact Hub">
<meta property="og:description" content="Your one stop spot for ET contact resources from around the globe.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.etcontacthub.com/uploads/1/3/6/0/13608955/et-contact-hub-logo_orig.png">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.etcontacthub.com/">
