Why are my Open Graph and meta tags showing incorrectly in my WooCommerce store?

Tags: WooCommerce, WordPress, Open graph, Meta tags, Yoast SEO, Meta data

After generating and transferring content from WriteText.ai to WooCommerce, the frontend may still display incorrect or outdated Open Graph and meta tags, even though everything appears correct inside WordPress.
 
This can happen even when:
  • The WriteText.ai content is correct
  • The transfer to WooCommerce is successful
  • The SEO fields inside WordPress show the expected values 

However, the frontend SEO output may not update because the meta information used for rendering is stored in a table that functions like a cached layer. If this stored data does not refresh, the frontend may continue showing older or incorrect values.

Suggested fix: refresh your SEO plugin’s stored output

Some SEO plugins, such as Yoast, store processed meta data in an internal structure. If this stored data becomes outdated, you may need to refresh it so the frontend reflects your current WooCommerce content.
 
Yoast provides an official utility plugin for this purpose: Yoast Test Helper Plugin
 
Note: Refreshing the stored data does not modify your product content or the text written in WriteText.ai. It only updates how the plugin reads and outputs the data already saved in WooCommerce.
 

What to reset

Inside the Test Helper plugin, use: Reset indexables tables & migrations
 
This action instructs the plugin to:
  • Clear previously stored SEO records in the index table
  • Rebuild its internal data based on your current WooCommerce content
  • Update Open Graph tags, meta titles, and meta descriptions in the index table
  • Output the correct values on the frontend 

Your WooCommerce content and WriteText.ai text remain unchanged. Only the stored SEO output is refreshed so the frontend reflects your current data.
