OG Pilot Dynamic Open Graph Images
OG Pilot Dynamic Open Graph Images helps you create branded social preview images for every URL on your site. Connect via OAuth, choose a template, and automatically generate Open Graph images for blog posts, landing pages, and WooCommerce products. Override per post when needed, output complete Open Graph + X/Twitter meta tags, and keep existing images live even when generation is paused.
Core capabilities:
* 3-step setup wizard for faster onboarding after activation.
* OAuth connection flow (PKCE) for secure account linking.
* Site-wide defaults for template, title, description, logo URL, image URL, and colors.
* Per-post/page/product overrides with dynamic placeholder support.
* Rule-based template selection (post/page/product + taxonomy rules).
* Outputs comprehensive Open Graph and X/Twitter meta tags, including article-specific and WooCommerce product-specific fields.
* Meta ownership mode to avoid duplicate tags with SEO plugins.
* Live social preview UI in wp-admin (Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter).
* Per-entry generated image preview in the editor sidebar.
* Supports publicly available OG Pilot templates for WordPress: page, blog_post, podcast, portfolio, book, event, product, company, and github.
* Optional auto-generation on content save.
* Non-blocking background generation with processing fallback image + retry scheduling.
* Optional cache busting toggle to force a daily image refresh cycle.
* Bulk regenerate queue with in-admin progress updates.
* One-click import of existing social fields from Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO.
* Diagnostics panel with endpoint health, token status, and latest API errors.
* Role-aware UX: admins manage plugin settings; editors can override per-entry templates.
* WooCommerce-aware placeholders ({{product_price}}, {{product_short_description}}, etc.).
* Graceful subscription handling: when trial/subscription is inactive, new image generation is paused while existing OG images keep working.
Supported placeholders:
* {{post_title}}
* {{excerpt}}
* {{site_name}}
* {{post_url}}
* {{author_name}}
* {{author_avatar_url}}
* {{publish_date_iso}}
* {{featured_image_url}}
* {{product_price}}
* {{product_short_description}}
* {{episode_date}}
* {{event_date}}
* {{event_location}}
* {{book_author}}
