  • Social description removed punctuation/spacing when pulling text from the article.

    The automatically generated social description appears to remove punctuation/spacing when pulling text from the article.

    Example generated:

    The Tenant Is Learning While DecidingThe lease is signed.The space has been selected. (note I added periods after each sentence and a space

    Expected result:
    The generated description should preserve appropriate sentence spacing and punctuation, for example I added periods and a space:

    The Tenant Is Learning While Deciding. The lease is signed. The space has been selected.

    It appears that the description generator may be stripping punctuation (the period) and/or paragraph breaks when converting article content into the Open Graph/social description field.

    Can you please advise whether these are known issues or if there is a recommended workaround?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your message and for the example.

    This is not the regular behavior in a standard WordPress environment. Blog2Social does not intentionally remove punctuation or spacing from the social description.

    In many cases, this kind of issue is caused before the text is processed by Blog2Social, for example by the theme, the way the article content is structured, or by another plugin that generates or modifies Open Graph/social metadata. If headings, paragraphs or line breaks are converted into plain text without proper spacing, the generated description may appear merged.

    As a workaround, you can manually edit the social description in Blog2Social before publishing and add the missing punctuation or spacing there.

    We recommend checking whether the issue is related to the active theme or another plugin that generates Open Graph/social description data. You can also test this in a standard WordPress environment or with a default WordPress theme to compare the result.

    If you can narrow the issue down to a specific theme or plugin, please let us know the name of the theme/plugin and send us the affected post URL and a screenshot of the generated description. We can then try to reproduce the behavior on our side.

    Best regards,
    Blog2Social Support
