Frequently asked questions
Is MightyShare free?
Yes! You can use MightyShare for free using our free account allowing you 50 renders a month. Paid plans start at $5 that allow you to generate hundreds of social images.
How does image generation work?
The image generation process is performed on our servers. This is done by the plugin creating a unique signed URL that allows your API Key to generate a social share image on our server. The URL is then put in your head tag to be used as an og:image. If you have Yoast SEO or RankMath installed the plugin will automatically write their og:images if enabled. Otherwise the plugin will create an og:image meta tag with your unique URL. Read our Privacy Policy
When is an image rendered?
The MightyShare plugin places a signed MightyShare image URL onto your meta tags. Images are rendered on our servers the first time that URL is requested. Since version 1.4.0 the plugin pings that URL in the background whenever you publish or update a post, so the image is typically already rendered and cached before a social network crawler ever fetches your page.
Why aren’t my images showing up?
If you are using an SEO plugin be sure to have a default image set for the type of content you want MightyShare to show on. For example in Yoast SEO you need to go to the Facebook section and set a default Open Graph image, this allows MightyShare to run filtering those meta tags. Additionally make sure you’ve cleared any caching mechanisms you may have. Still having issues? Contact Us.
Changelog
1.4.0
- New: social share images are now pre-generated in the background when a post is published or updated. Previously the first crawler to request the image triggered the render, and a slow first render could make X/Twitter cache a blank card. The warm-up is queued via WP-Cron the moment you save — publishing never waits on it — and re-saving unchanged content resolves to the same signed URL, served from cache without a new render.
- Bug fix:
Mightyshare_Public_Functions::get_mightyshare_url( $post_id )now honors the$post_idargument outside the frontend loop (it previously always used the queried object), and returns an empty string instead of PHP warnings when no API key is configured. - Bug fix: feed renders no longer embed the page URL in the template values, so a post’s feed and page now share a single cached render.
- Performance: meta box definitions (including the Google Fonts list) are no longer built on every frontend request.
- Template picker lists the standard templates first again — mesh templates are no longer the default for new installs.
- Security & hardening: sanitize admin
$_GET(page/tab/post) inputs, addwp_unslashto metabox saves, escape image URLs (esc_url), and replace incorrectesc_attrusage withesc_htmlfor text output. - Bug fix: removed nested function declarations inside the options class constructor that could cause a fatal error if the class was instantiated more than once. Also fixed the
mightshare_metaboxestypo. - Bug fix: corrected
MIGHTYSHARE_VERSIONconstant which was out of sync with the plugin header (broke admin asset cache busting). - Bug fix: replaced bare
echoof API key validation errors withadd_settings_error()so failures render in the standard settings UI. - Performance: per-request caching of plugin options and active-plugins list (SEO plugin detection no longer re-reads
wp_options7+ times per request). - Added
uninstall.php— plugin settings are removed when the plugin is deleted (per-post meta is preserved for re-installs). - Compatibility: bumped “Requires at least” to WordPress 6.0; tested up to WordPress 7.0.
