    Hi there Wild Brands ,

    According to the error, the type of website does not support the article:published_time, article:author.

    I’m not sure how serious these error is. I managed to share your page on a test account I have on facebook with correct title and image.

    Regarding to smartcrawl, it adds the author and published_time meta for single post types that have set the OpenGraph fields. You can add the following snippet in a mu-plugin:

    add_filter( 'wds-opengraph-is_running', '__return_true' );
    

    
add_action( 'wp_head', function(){
    

    
$og_printer = Smartcrawl_OpenGraph_Printer::get();
    

    
$settings = Smartcrawl_Settings::get_component_options( Smartcrawl_Settings::COMP_SOCIAL );
    
if ( empty( $settings['og-enable'] ) ) { return false; }
    

    
$og_printer->inject_global_tags();
    
$og_printer->inject_generic_og_tags();
    

    
}, 20 );

    which should only include the og:title and og:description

    If you are not familiar with mu-plugins you can read about them here:

    Hope this helps!
