About this plugin
Open Graphite gives you control over how your WordPress content appears when shared on social media.
When someone shares one of your pages on platforms like Facebook, the platform automatically selects text and images from the page to generate a preview. The results are often less than ideal, with irrelevant images, poorly formatted text and descriptions that are cut off mid-sentence. This can make your content less appealing and reduce engagement.
Open Graphite solves this by letting you customise the image, title, description and object type displayed when any of your pages are shared on social media. You can create compelling, purpose-built previews without changing or compromising your original page content.

External services
This plugin can connect to the Facebook Graph API to ask Facebook to refresh its cached copy of your page, so shared links show your latest title, description and image.
This only happens when you have entered a Facebook App ID and App Secret in Settings > Open Graphite > Facebook, and only when a published post is saved. com/.
