About Bitbug Meta Tags
From the official readme · v1.2.7Description
Bitbug Meta Tags lets you control how your site appears when shared on social networks and in browser tabs:
- Open Graph & Twitter meta tags — Outputs
og:title,og:description,og:url,og:image,og:type, andtwitter:cardin the head for singular posts, pages, and the front page so links show the right title, description, and image on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. - Per-page favicons — On any post or page you can set a custom favicon (and apple-touch-icon / tile image). When someone visits that URL, the browser tab shows your chosen icon instead of the site-wide one.
- Front page defaults — In Settings → General you can set a default Open Graph image for the homepage. Recommended size for the site image is 1200×675 px.
- Per-post/page overrides — On the edit screen for posts and pages, two side meta boxes let you choose a Custom Favicon and a Custom Open Graph Image for that content. If you don’t set them, the plugin falls back to: post OG image → featured image → front page OG image → site icon → theme default-og-image.jpg.
