Description
This plugin improves the sharing of your WordPress pages, posts, WooCommerce products, or any other post type on social media, by setting the correct Facebook Open Graph Tags.
It also allows you to add the Twitter Card tags for more effective and efficient Twitter sharing results, as well as the Meta Description and Canonical tags if no other SEO plugin is setting them.
This plugin is not, in any way, affiliated or endorsed by Facebook, Twitter, Google or any other 3rd party.
You can also choose to insert the «enclosure» and «media:content» tags to the RSS feeds, so that apps like RSS Graffiti and twitterfeed post the image to Facebook correctly.
It allows the user to choose which tags are included, and also the default image if the post/page doesn’t have one.
It’s also possible to add an overlay logo/watermark to the image. The plugin will resize and crop the original image to 1200×630 and then overlay the chosen 1200×630 PNG file over it.
It be usefull to add your brand to the image that shows up on Facebook shared links.
Our settings page is discreetly kept under «Options».

- Activate the plugin through the
Plugins
menu in WordPress - Go to
Options
,Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags
to set it up
FAQ
-
- Are you using a big enough image? The minimum image size is 200×200 pixels but we recommend 1200×630.
- Are you sure you only have one
og:image
tag on the source code? Make sure you’re not using more than one plugin to set OG tags? - Go to the Facebook Sharing Debugger, insert your URL, click
Debug
. Then click onScrape Again
to make sure Facebook gets the current version of your HTML code and not a cached version. If the image that shows up on the preview (bottom of the page) is the correct one, then the tags are well set and it «should» be the one that Facebook uses when sharing the post. If it still does not use the correct image when sharing, despite the debugger shows it correctly, there’s nothing more we can do about that. That’s just Facebook being Facebook.
-
It’s a shortcut to the Facebook Sharing Debugger, where you should click on
Scrape Again
to make sure Facebook gets the current version of your post or page. -
Each time you edit a post, if the option «Try to update Facebook Open Graph Tags cache when saving the post» is activated, we’ll try to notify Facebook of the changes so it clears up its cache and read the new Open Graph tags of this specific URL.
If this is a new post and it’s the first time you’re saving it, the error is «normal» and you should ignore it (we’re looking at a workaround to not show you this error).
If this is not a new post and it’s not the first time you’re saving it, and if this happens always, then maybe your server does not support calling remote URLs with PHP and you should disable the «Try to update Facebook Open Graph Tags cache when saving the post» option. In that scenario we recommend you use the Facebook Sharing Debugger toScrape Again
each time you update your post.
Sometimes the plugin just can’t update the Facebook cache itself and you may need to do it manually on the link provided above. -
Can I authenticate the call to Facebook, with my own app, when trying to update the cache, so I get rid of the «An access token is required to request this resource» error?
-
Yes, you can. Create a Facebook App and fill in the details on the «Facebook Open Graph Tags cache» panel of the plugin settings page.
Do NOT ask us support on this. There is a blog post explaining everything you need to do. -
Facebook says «The following required properties are missing: fb:app_id». Should I worry?
-
No. Move along.
-
Pinterest can read Open Graph tags, so no extra tags are needed to share your articles or WooCommerce products as Rich Pins.
You need however to apply to whitelist your domain on Pinterest. Head to this page and follow the instructions starting with «Set up». When in the validator, enter your URL, hit «Validate» and then choose «HTML tags» and hit «Apply now». It’s then up to Pinterest to accept your application or not. -
Can this plugin get content from «random plugin»?
-
If there’s a popular plugin you think we could get content from to use on the meta tags, use the support forum to tell us that.
If you are a plugin or theme author you can always use our filtersfb_og_title
,fb_og_desc
,fb_og_url
,fb_og_type
,fb_type_schema
,fb_og_image
,fb_og_image_additional
,fb_og_image_overlay
,fb_og_locale
,fb_og_app_id
,fb_og_thumb_fill_color
,fb_og_output
andfb_og_enabled
to customize the Open Graph (and other) meta tags output. -
What is the array structure for the `fb_og_image_additional` filter?
-
Check out this code snippet.
-
I’m getting a white screen of death / truncated HTML
-
Go to the plugin settings and check the
Do not get image size
option.
This happens on some edge cases we haven’t yet been able to identify.
Update: Probably fixed for some users on 2.1.4.5 and completely on 2.2 (pending confirmation) -
Can I use Yoast SEO alongside this plugin?
-
You can (and, in our opinion, you should) use both plugins. If you want to use Yoast SEO for your SEO needs and our plugin for social media meta tags you just have to go to «SEO > Social» and disable settings for Facebook and Twitter.
If you don’t find that option, because they’ve now made it harder to reach, you have to go to «SEO > Dashboard > Features > Advanced settings pages > choose Enabled and Save changes». Then you can reach «SEO > Social».
Then set up our plugin as you wish and you’re ready to go.
We like to work with everybody, so (if you want to) our plugin can even integrate with Yoast SEO and use it’s title, description and canonical URL on the Facebook and Twitter tags.

tag. - If the description comes out empty, the title is used on this tag.
