Longer Description

If you are pulling your own content, then you would need to ensure that a longer meta/og description is provided, as that will be used.

If it’s someone else’s content, it will pull the description that the author chose to provide.

It should (from memory as it’s late) only fail back to pulling the 1st p tag if there is no og or meta description.

Thank you for the response. My feature request would then be to add 2-4 lines of content from the post if it’s available.

Here are two sites we are using your plugin with.

‘https://a2z-insurance.com’
‘https://patriciastraus.com/’

Sorry, and I know this is not what you want to hear… but, this is meant to be a “link preview”, like FB links. It is meant for users to read a little, as part of the site’s own content, and then read the remote site’s content if they wish. It is not meant to replicate all/most of the source page to prevent people going off to read the source page.

Changing it to do this would go far beyond it’s purpose. It may even exceed “fair use” / “fair dealing”. As I’m in the EU, for the next 2 years anyway, our rules are a lot stricter than there.

You can, obviously, manually paste in additional content when creating your posts. With the plug-in doing the basic intro, link and image.

If you have a local coder, it should be easy enough for them to fork the source and change it to what you want. But, it just doesn’t fit with the designed purpose of the plugin. Sorry.
