For my blog posts, I’m using the **Open Graph option** from the CMS item.

When I select **“Article”** as the type, it is applied correctly.

However, I noticed that further up in the source code, Open Graph meta properties are already being output. In the og:type property there, the content is marked as **website**.

Where or how can I configure this so that duplicate Open Graph properties are not output, or so that they are properly overridden?

Elements and the CMS are two separate systems…

The only way I can think to fix this right now is to remove `{{page.opengraph}}` from the Site Template, however, that would mean you’d need to add opengraph tags manually to your other pages 😵‍💫

Not sure of the best route to go with this 🤔
