Description
A simple plugin for adding open graph tags to WordPress sites. Focuses more on theme and plugin developers. No admin interface (yet), everything is configured via code. (I’ll write a better description when I can think of one…)

FAQ
- How do I use this?
-
After you have installed the plugin, the plugin will automatically add open graph tags to your site’s front page.
og:site_nameandog:titlewill both be set to your site’s name,og:typewill be “website”,og:urlis the site’s url andog:descriptionis the WP site description.After you’ve enabled support for each of the post type(s), you begin to see open graph tags appear in those post type page
<head>tags.On post types that support ‘ogtags’, the plugin will add og tags for
og:site_name(your blog’s title),og:title(the post title),og:url(the post permalink),og:description(the post excerpt) andog:typeis automatically set to “article”. If your post has a thumbnail image, that will be set as theog:image. - Can I customize the og tags?
-
You can!
You can customize all of the different posts you’re supporting using the
og_tagsfilter. Also, if you’re supporting multiple post types and only want to customize a particular post type, you can use the[POST_TYPE]_og_tagsfilter, where you can replace[POST_TYPE]withpostorpage(or whatever the post_type is) to customize the content of a particular post type.
