## Description
**Simple Open Graphs** is a feather-light social metadata plugin that makes every
link to your site look great on **Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Discord,
Slack, Pinterest, Telegram**, and beyond, without the bloat of a full SEO suite.

get started.

X – right inside the post editor.
* 🔁 **Plays nice with SEO plugins.** Auto-detects Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress,

The SEO Framework.

## Installation
1. Upload the plugin to `wp-content/plugins/simple-open-graphs/` or install through
the Plugins screen.
2. Activate.
3. Visit **Settings Open Graph** to pick a default social image, enabled post types,
and your Twitter/X handle.
4. Edit any post – you’ll see a **Social Preview** metabox with live cards.
That’s it. Sharing your URL now produces beautiful rich previews.
## FAQ
### Do I need an SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) to use this?
No. Simple Open Graphs is fully standalone. It’s designed for people who want excellent
social previews without installing a full SEO suite.
### I already have Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO. Will this conflict?
No. The plugin auto-detects the major SEO plugins and yields the front end to them
so you never get duplicate Open Graph tags. You can still use the per-post Social
Preview metabox to override their values, and run the **Tools Import** to copy
your existing social metadata in.
### Will this slow down my site?
No. There is zero JavaScript and zero CSS loaded on the front end. The output is
a small static block of `` tags inside `` – typically under 1 KB. Resolved
data is cached via the object cache when available.
### Does this support WooCommerce products?
Yes – products emit `og:type=product` plus `product:price:amount`, `product:price:
currency`, `product:availability`, and `product:retailer_item_id`.
### How do I see how my page looks when shared?
Use the **Tools** sidebar links to the official Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn
Post Inspector, X Card Validator, and Google Rich Results Test. They each fetch
your page and show the rendered preview.
### Can I import my settings from another SEO plugin?
Yes. Go to **Settings Open Graph Tools**, pick your source plugin, and click **
Run import**. We support Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and The SEO
Framework.
### Is it translation ready?
Yes – `Text Domain: simple-open-graphs`. A `.pot` file is included in `/languages`.
### Is it headless / REST friendly?
Yes. Call `GET /wp-json/sog/v1/meta?url=` from your headless frontend
to get a ready-to-render JSON payload.
### Is it WP-CLI friendly?
Yes. `wp sog show `, `wp sog import `, `wp sog reset`.
### Does it work with WPML / Polylang?
Yes. Each translation has its own metabox values and emits the correct `og:locale`
automatically.
### How do I customize the output?
Use filters: `sog_meta_tags`, `sog_resolved_data`, `sog_enabled_post_types`, `sog_should_render`,`
sog_remove_duplicate_tags`. Hooks documented in the plugin source.
### How do I report a bug?
[Open a thread](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-open-graphs/) on WordPress.
org. Include your PHP/WP versions and which SEO plugin (if any) is active.
