Social Preview and Open Graph Tags help you control how your WordPress content appears when shared on social media, messaging apps, and link preview tools.
The plugin automatically adds Open Graph meta tags, X/Twitter Card tags, and optional SEO meta tags to your website. These tags help platforms understand the correct title, description, URL, image, author, content type, and other metadata to use when building rich link previews.
This plugin was previously known as Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags. The new name better reflects what the plugin helps you achieve: better social previews across modern sharing platforms.
Use it for blogs, publishers, business websites, agencies, WooCommerce stores, and custom WordPress projects that need clean social previews without depending on a large SEO suite only for social metadata.
What is a social preview?
A social preview is the card shown when someone shares your website link on a platform such as Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Pinterest, Telegram, or X/Twitter.
A good preview usually includes:
A clear title
A useful description
The correct page URL
A large preview image
Site name and content type
Author or publisher details when needed

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
