Description
ogCover Generator creates OG images for posts and pages and injects them into social meta tags.
Main features:
- Generate OG images on save/publish for posts and pages.
- Regenerate a single post/page from the editor sidebar.

- Inject og:image and twitter:image tags in page head.
You need an active ogCover account and API key.
External services
This plugin connects to the ogCover API (https://ogcover.io) to generate Open Graph images.
When you trigger image generation (automatic on post save, manual from the editor, or bulk sync), the plugin sends the following post/page data to https://ogcover.io/api/generate:
- title
- excerpt/content snippet
- author name
- publication date
- category and tag names
- estimated reading time
- site name and tagline
- featured/content image URL
No data is sent unless image generation is explicitly triggered. Generated image files are stored in your WordPress uploads directory.
