OpenGraph Fallback Embed adds a custom Gutenberg block and an auto-embed fallback that renders rich link cards using OpenGraph metadata from any URL.
Features:
<ul>
<li>OpenGraph Embed block — Paste any URL to embed it as a styled card showing the page’s title, description, image, and site name.</li>
<li>Auto-embed fallback — When WordPress can’t find an oEmbed provider for a URL pasted on its own line, this plugin automatically fetches the page’s OpenGraph tags and renders a card instead of a plain link.</li>
<li>Graceful degradation — Falls back to Twitter Card meta tags, then to HTML <code><title></code> and <code><meta name="description"></code> when OpenGraph tags are missing.</li>
<li>Transient caching — Fetched metadata is cached for 7 days to minimise external requests.</li>
</ul>

OpenGraph Fallback Embed

Provides an embed block and auto-embed fallback based on a site's OpenGraph tags when no other embed handler matches the URL.

The <a href="https://ogp.me/" rel="nofollow ugc">Open Graph protocol</a> enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. Most notably, this allows for these pages to be used with Facebook’s <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like" rel="nofollow ugc">Like Button</a> and <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/" rel="nofollow ugc">Graph API</a> as well as within Twitter posts.
The Open Graph plugin inserts the Open Graph metadata into WordPress posts and pages, and provides a simple extension mechanism for other plugins and themes to override this data, or to provide additional Open Graph data.
This plugin does not directly add social plugins like the Facebook Like Button to your pages (though they’re pretty simple to add). It will however make your pages look great when shared using those kinds of tools.

Adds Open Graph metadata to your posts and pages so that they look great when shared on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
