Hello,

Do you mean K2 or are you using an additional social extension?

You need to edit core files to alter the og: tags.
These files cannot be overriden so backup before editing.
When you update you need to repatch K2.

The og: tags are being generated here github.com/joomlaworks/k2/blob/master/components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.html.php#L698-L709

Personally, I think K2 should offer the ability to control the output of all meta data (via parameters), including :

- title tag
- meta title
- meta description
- open graph tags

That way people would not need to hack any files.

The other option is for a developer to create a plugin to provide meta control.
The plugin could be called "K2 Meta Control" - Anyone interested?

This sounds interesting, but I think there are already several extensions that offer social media integration. They offer k2 integration but I think a K2 specific extension would be interesting.

Correct, there are social media integration extensions, but why not offer the ability to deactivate all of the options that I mentioned.

K2 offers the control of other parameters (RSS feed, image, etc.) Why not meta data?

I think this can be a stock option for v3 github.com/joomlaworks/k2-v3-dev-build/issues

Here are two hack solutions:

Comment Out Code:
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/35388-k2-has-2-sets-of-og-tags#125099

Modification Solution:
www.itoctopus.com/k2-and-setting-the-wrong-open-graph-description-meta-tag

I personally recommend using Extra Fields to produce item page meta data (for maximum flexibility):
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/40022-my-meta-name-and-meta-description-are-totally-broken#140600

Note: K2 v2.x does not offer the ability to use extra fields for category, tag and author pages, for this you can use a plugin that adds meta to the page head, like this:
extensions.joomla.org/extension/headtag

I hope this helps :)
