Insert Link Preview from OG Metadata

This WordPress plugin Get OG Data accepts a URL, loads the web page, gathers up the OG metadata from that page and displays a Facebook-like link preview in your article, in one of four formats.

To insert a Link Preview:

1. Click the Get OG Data button to display the Get OG panel.
2. Select the Post Type: Choose if you want to insert the Link Preview into a page or post.
3. Select the post (or page) from the drop-down Posts list.
4. Enter the URL in the field below.
5. Select a Layout:
• Side by side, narrow
• Side by side, wide
• Image at top
• Image at bottom

6. If needed, click Find It: The Link Preview will display.
7. If the metadata has multiple images, use the arrow buttons to select an image.
8. Click Insert to insert the web page link preview into your page. The link preview will display:
• the web page favicon,
• the linked URL,
• the page title,
• the full OG description field (a 200 char limit)
• the clickable display image.

Features:

• Image selection option if multiple images are available.
