About Schwarttzy's Open Graph
From the official readme · v1.2Description
Schwarttzy’s Open Graph is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically adds Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags to your website’s posts, pages, the front page, and blog posts index. These tags optimize content sharing on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X by providing rich previews with titles, descriptions, images (with dimensions), and more.
Key Features in v1.2:
– Support for blog posts index page (when separate from static front page).
– Twitter Cards with dynamic card type (summary_large_image when image present, summary otherwise).
– Featured image dimensions (og:image:width and og:image:height) for faster social previews.
– Expanded article tags (article:modified_time and article:section).
– Shortcode stripping in descriptions for page builder compatibility.
– Media uploader button in settings page for easy default image selection.
– Improved context-aware conflict notice and admin UX.
– Developer-friendly filters (sog_title, sog_description, sog_image, sog_twitter_site, etc.).
– Textdomain loaded, wp_head priority adjusted, and full WordPress 7.0 compatibility.
The plugin remains simple, lightweight, and focused on delivering high-quality social previews.
– Ensure your theme includes <?php wp_head(); ?> in its header.php file for meta tags to render.
– Test shared links using tools like the Facebook Sharing Debugger.
– This plugin focuses on simplicity and performance while delivering best-in-class social sharing metadata. Developer filters allow further customization.
