These tags optimize content sharing on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter by providing rich previews with titles, descriptions, and images. **Key Features:** – Automatically adds Open Graph meta tags for posts, pages, and the front page. – Uses post/page title, featured image, excerpt (or content trimmed to 300 characters), and permalink. – Supports a configurable default image URL for when no featured image is set. – Simple, lightweight, and easy to use with minimal configuration. – Ensure your theme includes `` in its `header. php` file for meta tags to render. – Test shared links using tools like the [Facebook Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/).– This plugin focuses on simplicity and does not support archive pages or advanced image uploaders. ### Support For support, visit the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/schwarttzys-open-graph/) or contact the author at [https://schwarttzy.com/contact-me/](https://schwarttzy.com/contact-me/). ## Screenshots * [[ * The settings page under **Settings > Schwarttzy’s Open Graph** where you can configure the default image URL featuring Mousse, the chocolate lab. ## Installation 1. Upload the `schwarttzys-open-graph` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Settings > Schwarttzy’s Open Graph** to configure the default image URL (e.g., https://example.com/default-image.jpg). ## FAQ ### How do I set a default image? Go to **Settings > Schwarttzy’s Open Graph** and enter the full URL of your default image (e.g., https://example.com/default-image.jpg). This image is used when a post or page lacks a featured image. ### What meta tags are added? The plugin adds the following Open Graph meta tags: – `og:title`: Post/page title or site name (front page). – `og:description`: Excerpt or content trimmed to 300 characters (posts/pages), or site description (front page). – `og:image`: Featured image or default image URL. – `og:url`: Post/page permalink or home URL. – `og:type`:“ article” (posts/pages) or “website” (front page). – `og:site_name`: Site name. –` og:locale`: Site locale for internationalization. – `article:published_time`: Post publication date (posts/pages only). ### Does this plugin work with SEO plugins? It may conflict with plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math that also add Open Graph tags, leading to duplicates. Consider disabling Open Graph features in those plugins or using this clean, simple alternative for focused social media sharing. ### Can I use my own images? Yes, upload an image to your server and enter its full URL in the **Settings > Schwarttzy’s Open Graph** page. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/003fbb117e03ab253214a16a66bcf960867938eed9bca8de9698aac85382f483? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[super lightweight!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-lightweight-5/)󠁿 [asda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/then2s/) November 21, 2025 1 reply featured images are your.. featured images. there’s a default featured image incase you dont have one. doesnt get any simpler. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3580c89c6189fc3e3462675c4b62a11bb1fbfd2597243637e4b36d7aefca30e4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Light Weight and Simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/light-weight-and-simple-2/)󠁿 [Schwarttzy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/schwarttzy/) August 29, 2025 This is my light weight and simple plugin to include Open Graph data for websites.

Seems simple enough to me so I wrote this plugin.
