ogmake OG Images

Automatic og:image and twitter:image for posts, pages and custom post types, rendered by the ogmake service.

Description

Support: support@ogmake.com. Source: https://github.com/ogmake/ogmake-wordpress

Adds a social preview image to every post, page and enabled custom post type, built from the post title, excerpt, author and your site name.

• Public URL mode (key id only) or API key mode (signed URLs; the signing secret stays on the server and is never printed in HTML).
• Per-post override meta box: turn off, pick a template, change the image title, preview.
• Works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math: their image wins unless you opt to override it.
• Optional: keep the post's featured image when it has one.
• Image URLs are cached in transients. All plugin data is removed on uninstall.

External services

This plugin relies on the ogmake image rendering service (https://ogmake.com by default; the address is configurable in Settings, ogmake) to generate the social preview images.

What is sent, and when: the plugin adds an image URL to your page's og:image and twitter:image meta tags. When a visitor's browser, a social network or a search engine loads that URL, it requests the image from ogmake. The URL carries the post title (or your override), an excerpt of up to 200 characters, the author's display name, the publication date, your site name and the template name, so the image can be rendered. In API key mode the URL also carries a signature; the signing secret itself is never sent or printed. Password-protected posts send the title only. The plugin itself makes no HTTP requests from your server, and nothing is sent until a post is viewed.

An ogmake account and key are required: https://ogmake.com. Terms of service: https://ogmake.com/terms. Privacy policy: https://ogmake.com/privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do colors, fonts and my logo come from?

They are configured in your ogmake dashboard and apply to every image on your account.

I already use Yoast SEO or Rank Math.

Their og:image is kept when present. Tick "Override" in the settings to replace it.

Does the plugin call ogmake from my server?

No. Only the browsers and crawlers that load your pages request the image. See the External services section.

What happens when I uninstall?

All plugin settings, per-post overrides and cached URLs are removed.
