I have tried using Yoast SEO to alter what is shared on social media, but no matter what I do, the theme seems to be overriding the information Facebook grabs. It is sharing the og:title and og:description, which is the same thing and all my posts shared to Facebook have this info repeated. I have tried lots of different plug-ins, but cannot alter the information shared? I don't know what else to do!

HI!

Try to remove:

$output .= '<meta property="og:title" content="'.trim(esc_attr($og_title)).'">'."\n";
        $output .= '<meta property="og:description" content="'.trim(esc_attr($og_description)).'">'."\n";
        $output .= '<meta property="og:site_name" content="'.trim(esc_attr($og_site_name)).'">'."\n";
        $output .= '<meta property="og:type" content="'.trim(esc_attr($og_type)).'">'."\n";
        $output .= '<meta property="og:url" content="'.trim(esc_attr($og_url)).'">'."\n";

From the
