Schwarttzy

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 <code><?php wp_head(); ?></code> in its <code>header.php</code> file for meta tags to render. 
– Test shared links using tools like the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook Sharing Debugger</a>. 
– This plugin focuses on simplicity and performance while delivering best-in-class social sharing metadata. Developer filters allow further customization.

Schwarttzy's Open Graph


This is my light weight and simple plugin to include Open Graph data for websites. Ever plugin I've ever used make things overly complicated. There's no need to do that. The featured image should be the featured image. The title should be the title. Seems simple enough to me so I wrote this plugin.


Light Weight and Simple

Adds Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags to WordPress posts, pages, the front page, and blog posts index to enhance social media sharing.

<h4>Social Sharing By Danny</h4>
The simplest sharing links possible for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Most WordPress plugins that add social sharing functionality are too ugly, heavy, complicated or poorly coded for my liking. This plugin aims to be better: simple, efficient and flexible.
<h4>No script dependencies</h4>
From itself, the buttons are actually plain text links which require no external scripts. It makes no sense to load over 50 kilobytes of scripts and styles for a functionality 95% of your users will not use.
<h4>Simple, yet pretty and user-friendly</h4>
You can have the plugin load two very small files to add icons and a pop-up functionality to the sharing links. This way, users do not have to leave your website after clicking a sharing option. Both files are optional and you are free to craft your own styles.
Features
<ul>
<li>Sharing links for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn</li>
<li>Simple icon styles with a hover effect</li>
<li>Simple script of just 426 bytes (with no additional dependencies) which will make the various sharing links open in a pop-up window.</li>
<li>A shortcode and a template function to display the buttons anywhere you want.</li>
<li>An overridable filter to customize when and where to display the sharing links.</li>
<li>Translation ready</li>
</ul>
