Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Open Graph locale tag rendering as en_US instead of en_AU. As mentioned in the documentation, the og:locale tag is automatically added based on the language selected in the WordPress General Settings. If your desired language is not being reflected correctly, it may be due to how WordPress handles locale settings.
Unfortunately, if en_AU is not available in the list of options provided by WordPress, Rank Math will default to en_US.
To ensure that your settings are correct, please double-check the following:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard → Settings → General.
- Ensure that Site Language is set to English (Australia).
If everything appears correct and the issue persists, we recommend replying to this ticket. A human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further with this matter.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
You can try to use the following filter on your website to change the og:locale.
add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/og_locale", function( $content ) {
$content = 'en_AU';
return $content;
});
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
That script works. Thank you.
