Hi,

It requires to modify the plugin itself ; so it is possible but it's not recommended if you want to update HikaShop afterwards (because you will lost your modification with the update).

Hi,

So you have to edit the file "plugins/system/hikashopsocial/hikashopsocial.php" in the function "_addFacebookButton()" replace:
Code:
$this->meta['property="og:description"'] = '<meta property="og:description" content="'.htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($element->description), ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8').'"/> ';
By:
Code:
$this->meta['property="og:description"'] = '<meta property="og:description" content="'.htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($element->product_meta_description), ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8').'"/> ';

Hi,

My bad, wrong modification, please revert back the code to:
Code:
$this->meta['property="og:description"'] = '<meta property="og:description" content="'.htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($element->description), ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8').'"/> ';
And then in the function "_getElementInfo()" replace:
Code:
$ret->description = $element->product_description;
By:
Code:
$ret->description = $element->product_meta_description;

Hi,

The previous code must work, but as I remember Facebook has a kind of cache, so the changes may take time to appear correctly. I will have a deeper look at the Facebook API.

Hi,

So if the changes has no effect, please try to disable the plugin and see if you still have the meta tag in the page content.
If it is, so it come from another plugin/component, that don't come from HikaShop.
