Open Graphite lets you control how your WordPress content is viewed when shared on social media.
Typically when one of your pages is shared on social media (Facebook for example), the platform will use the first image and text it can find on the page. This is usually not ideal and often truncates the content into something nonsensical, resulting in the page being less likely to be engaged with.
Open Graphite solves this problem, by allowing you to customise the image, title and description of any of your pages that are shared on social media, all without compromising the original content.
<h3>How to use</h3>
For the homepage…
<ul>

Content Cards make ordinary web links great by making it possible to embed a beautiful Content Card to link to any web site.
By using OpenGraph data, Content Cards grabs the title, description and associated image to the links you embed – it’s similar to how you can embed other websites, such as YouTube, Twitter, SoundCloud and more.
For individual links, You can insert a Content Card via shortcode <code>[contentcards url="http://yoursite.com/article-1"]</code>. If you often use Content Cards for some website, you can register the domain name (for example: <code>yoursite.com</code>) as an oEmbed provider via Plugin’s Settings page and then it will behave the same way other oEmbed providers do – you will just have to paste plaintext link to a separate paragraph an Content Card will be generated automatically.
