## Description

Titlize automatically generates beautiful Open Graph (OG) images for your WordPress
posts and pages. Simply publish your content, and the plugin will create a professional
social media preview image using your featured image and post title.

#### Key Features

 * **Automatic OG Image Generation** – Generate OG images automatically when you
   publish or update posts
 * **Per-Post Customization** – Override default settings for individual posts with
   custom titles, subtitles, and styling
 * **Preview Before Publishing** – See exactly how your OG image will look before
   you publish
 * **Manual Regeneration** – Regenerate images anytime with a single click
 * **Bulk Regeneration** – Update multiple posts at once from the posts list
 * **Smart Caching** – Avoid unnecessary API calls with intelligent cache invalidation
 * **Brand Kit Integration** – Use your brand colors and logo from your Titlize 
   account
 * **Custom Post Type Support** – Enable OG image generation for any post type
 * **Gutenberg Block** – Insert titled images directly in your post content

#### How It Works

 1. Configure your API token in Settings > Titlize
 2. Set your default text position, color mode, and other preferences
 3. Publish your posts – OG images are generated automatically
 4. Customize individual posts using the Titlize meta box

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.0 or higher
 * PHP 8.1 or higher
 * A Titlize API account ([sign up here](https://titlize.com)) — a free tier generates
   real Open Graph images (no sandbox); see [Terms of Use](https://titlize.com/terms)

### Development

The full, unminified source for the block and admin scripts ships inside this plugin
under `blocks/src/` and `admin/src/`. The `blocks/build/` and `admin/dist/` files
are compiled from that source with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts)(
webpack).

To rebuild from source:

    ```
    npm install && npm run build:all
    ```

 * `npm run build` — compiles the Gutenberg block (`blocks/src`  `blocks/build`)
 * `npm run admin:build` — compiles the admin scripts (`admin/src`  `admin/dist`)

### External services

This plugin relies on the Titlize service to generate Open Graph images. It requires
a Titlize account and API token, and it will not generate images without one.

**Titlize API — api.titlize.com**
 What it is: the Titlize image-generation API.
What it is used for: turning your featured image and post title into an Open Graph
image. When you publish or update a post, preview an image from the meta box, or
run a manual/bulk regeneration, the plugin sends to this service: your featured 
image, the post title and optional subtitle text, and your styling preferences (
text position, color mode/hex, font), authenticated with your Titlize API token.
The service returns the URL of the generated image.

**Titlize image storage — storage.titlize.com and storage.googleapis.com**
 What
it is: where the generated images are hosted (Titlize storage, backed by Google 
Cloud Storage). What it is used for: after the API returns an image URL, the plugin
makes a plain GET request to that URL to download the finished image and save it
to your WordPress media library. No personal data is sent other than the request
for that specific image.

This service is provided by Titlize. See the [Terms of Use](https://titlize.com/terms)
and [Privacy Policy](https://titlize.com/privacy).

### Privacy Policy

Titlize sends data to the Titlize API service to generate images. This includes:

 * Your featured image
 * Post title and subtitle text
 * Styling preferences (position, colors)

No personal user data is transmitted. Generated images are stored in your WordPress
media library.

#### API Token Storage

Your API token is stored obfuscated at rest: it is encrypted with AES-256-CBC keyed
on your site’s own WordPress secret key (SECURE_AUTH_KEY, falling back to AUTH_KEY)
before being saved to the options table, and the settings screen only ever shows
a masked placeholder. This obfuscation-at-rest protects the token against a database-
only disclosure (for example a DB dump without wp-config.php); it is not a secrecy
guarantee against an attacker who already has both the database and your wp-config.
php secret keys. If your site has no WordPress secret keys configured, the plugin
refuses to store a token rather than fall back to a built-in default key.

For more information, see the [Titlize Privacy Policy](https://titlize.com/privacy).

## FAQ

### Do I need a Titlize account?

Yes, the plugin requires a Titlize API token to generate images. You can sign up
for a free account at [titlize.com](https://titlize.com).

### What image formats are supported?

The plugin supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP images as source images. Generated 
OG images are delivered in an optimized format.

### What are the recommended image dimensions?

For best results, use featured images that are at least 1200×630 pixels. The plugin
will warn you if an image is smaller than recommended.

### Can I use this with custom post types?

Yes! Go to Settings > Titlize and enable the post types you want to use with automatic
OG image generation.

### How does caching work?

The plugin caches generated images to avoid unnecessary API calls. When you change
the post title, featured image, or OG image settings, the cache is automatically
invalidated and a new image will be generated on the next publish.

### Can I preview the OG image before publishing?

Yes, use the “Preview OG Image” button in the Titlize meta box to see how your image
will look before publishing. There’s a cooldown period between previews to prevent
excessive API usage.

### Does this work with SEO plugins?

Yes, Titlize provides a filter hook (`titlize_og_image_url`) that SEO plugins can
use to get the generated OG image URL.

### Is multisite supported?

WordPress Multisite is not currently supported. The plugin will display a notice
if activated on a multisite installation.
