WordPress.org

An essential plugin for every WordPress website.

Adds SEO and Open Graph

NextGEN Facebook Open Graph (NGFB Open Graph) adds Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Open Graph HTML tags to the head section of your webpages. These tags are used by Google Search, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and many more, to parse and describe your content correctly (title, description, tags, images, videos, author social profiles, etc.).

NGFB Open Graph goes well beyond other SEO and Open Graph plugins by offering a stable, mature, high-performance platform that supports a wide variety of media sources and archive-types. NGFB Open Graph detects and uses images from the NextGEN Gallery plugin and / or the WordPress Media Library (featured, attached, preview, shortcodes, etc.), and embedded videos in your content.

Once installed and activated, NGFB Open Graph adds all the essential Open Graph meta tags to your webpages immediately -- there's no need to configure any additional settings. Although, if you have an image that represents your website, you may want to select it as your Default Image on the General Settings page. All options are carefully explained on each settings page -- there's no need to download or purchase additional documentation, how-to videos, etc.

Provides Social Sharing

NGFB Open Graph also comes with several multilingual social sharing buttons, that you can add above / below your content or excerpt, as a widget, shortcode, or even call as a function from your theme template(s). Each of the following social buttons can be configured and enabled individually:

• Facebook
• Google+
• LinkedIn
• Pinterest
• StumbleUpon
• Tumblr (Links, Quotes, Images, Videos)
• Twitter

Images and Videos

NGFB Open Graph detects and uses all images, associated or included in your webpage content, and embedded videos from YouTube and Vimeo (including their preview images). NGFB Open Graph was specifically written to support images from NextGEN Galleries, but works just as well with just the standard WordPress Media Library. The NextGEN Gallery plugin is not required to use all the funtionality of NGFB Open Graph.

Best Performance

Unlike other plugins, NGFB Open Graph is fast and tuned for performance -- it makes full use of all available caching techniques:

• Non-persistent (WP Object Cache) object caching for rendered (filtered) Post and Page content.
• Persitent (Transient API) object caching for the Open Graph meta tags, social buttons widget, shortcodes and content social buttons.
• Using an optional file / disk based cache for javascript and images from social websites (Pro version).

Clean Uninstall

Try the NGFB Open Graph plugin with complete confidence -- when uninstalled, NGFB Open Graph removes all all traces of itself from the database.

Great Support

NGFB Open Graph is being actively developed and supported. You can review the FAQ and Other Notes pages for additional setup information. If you have questions or suggestions, post them to the WordPress NGFB Open Graph Support Forum.

Developer Friendly

NGFB Open Graph also offers a wide variety of filter hooks, functions, methods and constants to customize the output and behavior of the plugin (see the Other Notes and the included constants.txt file for a complete list).

Pro Version

The Free version is a complete, stable, well supported and feature rich plugin. The Pro version also offers enhanced customization features for each individual Post and Page. You can enable a file cache for social images and JavaScripts (to further improve the page load times), and if you use a CDN or dedicated server to handle static content, the Pro version also includes a URL rewriting feature.

Upgrading to the Pro version is simple and easy -- click on the "Purchase the Pro Version" button located on any NGFB Open Graph settings page, purchase the plugin through Paypal, then receive an email with your unique Transaction ID, and update the plugin from within WordPress (like a regular plugin update).
