About OG Pilot Dynamic Open Graph Images
From the official readme · v0.1.1Description
OG Pilot Dynamic Open Graph Images helps you create branded social preview images for every URL on your site. Connect via OAuth, choose a template, and automatically generate Open Graph images for blog posts, landing pages, and WooCommerce products. Override per post when needed, output complete Open Graph + X/Twitter meta tags, and keep existing images live even when generation is paused.
Core capabilities:
* 3-step setup wizard for faster onboarding after activation.
* OAuth connection flow (PKCE) for secure account linking.
* Site-wide defaults for template, title, description, logo URL, image URL, and colors.
* Per-post/page/product overrides with dynamic placeholder support.
* Rule-based template selection (post/page/product + taxonomy rules).
* Outputs comprehensive Open Graph and X/Twitter meta tags, including article-specific and WooCommerce product-specific fields.
* Meta ownership mode to avoid duplicate tags with SEO plugins.
* Live social preview UI in wp-admin (Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter).
* Per-entry generated image preview in the editor sidebar.
* Supports publicly available OG Pilot templates for WordPress: page, blog_post, podcast, portfolio, book, event, product, company, and github.
* Optional auto-generation on content save.
* Non-blocking background generation with processing fallback image + retry scheduling.
* Optional cache busting toggle to force a daily image refresh cycle.
* Bulk regenerate queue with in-admin progress updates.
* One-click import of existing social fields from Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO.
* Diagnostics panel with endpoint health, token status, and latest API errors.
* Role-aware UX: admins manage plugin settings; editors can override per-entry templates.
* WooCommerce-aware placeholders ({{product_price}}, {{product_short_description}}, etc.).
* Graceful subscription handling: when trial/subscription is inactive, new image generation is paused while existing OG images keep working.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an OG Pilot account?
You need an OG Pilot account for service usage, but you do not need to pre-register before installing the plugin. When you click Connect with OG Pilot, OAuth can automatically create/link your OG Pilot account using your site details. The connect form pre-fills your current admin email, and you can edit it before starting OAuth.
Which post types are supported?
By default: post and page. If WooCommerce is active, product is also available.
Can I set site-wide defaults and then override per entry?
Yes. Set defaults in plugin settings, then use the OG Pilot Social Image meta box on each post/page/product for per-content overrides.
Is there a guided onboarding flow?
Yes. A 3-step setup wizard helps you connect OAuth, choose a default template, and select supported content types.
Which templates are available in the plugin?
page, blog_post, podcast, portfolio, book, event, product, company, and github.
Can I assign templates automatically by post type or taxonomy?
Yes. You can define rule-based template defaults for post/page/product and optional mappings for category/tag/product_type slugs.
How does image generation get triggered?
Two ways: * Auto-generation on save (if enabled and subscription is active). * Background generation queue when the stored OG image is missing/outdated.
Will page loads block while OG Pilot generates images?
No. The plugin queues generation in the background and returns a temporary processing image until the final image is ready.
How long does generation take?
Most images are ready within 5-10 minutes, depending on queue load and site traffic that triggers WP-Cron.
Can I regenerate all images after changing defaults?
Yes. Use Bulk Regenerate Queue in settings to regenerate all supported content with progress feedback.
Can I import existing SEO/Open Graph fields?
Yes. Use Import Existing Social Fields to pull title/description/image values from Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO into OG Pilot overrides.
What does the cache busting setting do?
When enabled, OG Pilot adds a daily (UTC) cache-busting token to generation payloads. This can refresh social cards once per day even if content fields did not change.
What happens after trial/subscription ends?
The plugin stays active. New OG generation pauses until subscription is active again. Existing generated OG image URLs continue to work.
Does this plugin deactivate itself if payment fails?
No. It follows a graceful degraded mode: only new generation actions are blocked.
What happens to force refresh and bulk regenerate when subscription is inactive?
Those generation actions are disabled/blocked until subscription becomes active again, while existing generated image URLs continue to work.
How can I avoid duplicate social tags with another SEO plugin?
Set Meta Ownership to External SEO plugin. OG Pilot will stop outputting social meta tags and let your SEO plugin own that output.
Is there a diagnostics screen for troubleshooting?
Yes. The Diagnostics panel shows endpoint health, token expiry data, latest generation timestamp, and most recent API error message.
Do I need manual DNS/domain verification for WordPress OAuth installs?
No manual DNS step is required in the WordPress OAuth flow.
What data is sent to OG Pilot?
Only data needed for OAuth/token lifecycle and image generation payloads (template + fields you configured).
Does it support WooCommerce metadata out of the box?
Yes. You can use placeholders such as {{product_price}} and {{product_short_description}}.
