  • Lightweight and fast

Perfect for:
* Blog posts linking to external articles
* Social media previews

Simply add the “Link Preview Cards” block, paste a URL, and the plugin will
automatically fetch and display the link preview data in a beautiful card format.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/link-preview-cards directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress admin interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is link preview data?

Link preview data includes metadata like title, description, and image that
websites provide to create rich previews when shared on social media platforms.

Does this work with any URL?

The URL must have link preview metadata for the plugin to
display rich data. If no link preview data is available, the block will show
basic link information.

Is this compatible with my theme?

Yes, this plugin works with any theme that supports Gutenberg blocks.

Can I customize the card appearance?

The card styling is designed to work well with most themes. Future versions may
include customization options.
