Rssemble Cards for RSS Feeds fetches multiple RSS feeds and displays them as image card grids using OGP images. It runs entirely on WordPress built-in features (SimplePie, transients, DOMDocument) — no external services required.
Key features:

<li>Automatic OGP image retrieval (priority: media:content → enclosure → og:image → default image)</li>
<li>Parallel OGP fetching via curl_multi (respects WP proxy settings and SSL verification)</li>
<li>8 layout types: grid, list, list_vertical, text, text_line, image_only, carousel, popup_grid</li>
<li>Responsive layout (3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, 1 on mobile — configurable)</li>
<li>FSE theme color variable support (–wp–preset–color–*) with fallback</li>
<li>Hover zoom + shadow effect on cards</li>
<li>Transient-based caching (no WP-Cron required)</li>
<li>Configurable RSS cache duration (12 hours / 1 day / 1 week / 1 month)</li>
<li>OGP image URL cached for 1 month (includes negative cache for failed fetches)</li>
<li>Stale cache fallback when a feed fetch fails</li>
<li>Admin UI with live preview (desktop / tablet / mobile width switching)</li>
<li>Compatible with object cache (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare</li>
</ul>

Rssemble Cards for RSS Feeds

Display multiple RSS feeds as OGP image card grids. No external service dependencies.

MONOKURO DESIGN

Simple Link Embed lets editors create link cards from external URLs or internal posts in the block editor. Paste a URL or search for a post, and the plugin fetches metadata such as the title, description, image, and site name automatically.
When an editor inserts or refreshes a card, the plugin requests the selected URL from the server side to fetch metadata. Preview images and site favicons are still loaded from the linked site when available.
Features:
<ul>
<li>WordPress Block (Gutenberg) Support – Fully compatible with modern block editor</li>
<li>External and Internal Links – Paste an external URL or search for an internal post from the editor</li>
<li>Automatic Metadata Fetching – Retrieves OGP and fallback metadata from the selected page</li>
<li>Card Display Controls – Control image position, description, site name, and link target behavior</li>
<li>Site Favicon with Fallback – Uses the linked site’s favicon when available and falls back to a bundled icon</li>
<li>YouTube and X Support – Includes service-specific metadata handling and fallbacks</li>
<li>Optional GA4 Click Tracking – Sends click events only when explicitly enabled</li>
</ul>
