Task:
We had to create a solution that allows the WordPress site administrator to easily and quickly generate image previews for microdata. The plugin allows you to build your own image template through the constructor.
🙋♀️ What is Open Graph?
Solution:
We have splitted the project into two parts:
- WordPress plugin — management and builder of the appearance of images;
- A separate backend service — the functionality of generating new images and API.
The plugin acts as an interface, and the service generates images from incoming requests. This is done in order to provide better work with text and images, and also so that the solution does not depend on the hosting/server configuration where the WordPress site is located.
Customizing the appearance of image previews
Images are generated in formats for Facebook, Twitter and Vkontakte. The plugin automatically generates OG meta tags and supports Yoast SEO.
In total:
We have created WordPress plugin, which we maintain and install on our projects and clients’ projects.
