Plugin to append URL+ featured image when copied and pasted to another site

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

    Would appreciate information as to what plugins are available that paste the featured image of a post on my site, the first few text lines of the post and URL of the post, as a referral, whenever any text or the URL is copied. Not simply append a link. TIA

  • Hello,

    How do you want to add an image into that text piece? Would it be html tag or just url? In first case that wouldn’t make much sense, because you can’t know how this text will be used and whether html is acceptable at that end. In second case it’s also possible that image url won’t be converted into image on user’s end. That’s all questionable in my opinion. You might need to check Add Link to Copied Text plugin which adds several options to the copied text.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. Add Link To Copied Text does not have the option to include the featured image. As an example of the plugin I am looking for is what is displayed at the end of the post:

    Source:
    https://www.abzu2.com/2017/03/24/the-rough-but-delicate-road-to-unity-consciousness/

    * Displayed after I copied and pasted the URL of the original post from https://in5d.com/ onto my site.

    TIA

    What you see there – is the data grabbed from Open Graph tags on the original website:
    og tags
    There’s a big number of WordPress plugins which provide functionality for adding OG tags into your website. I can’t recommend one particular. If you have All in One SEO plugin installed on your website – you can configure OG tags there as well.
