详情介绍:
- A preview image for every post, page and other post type you choose, made from the page's own title.
- Works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math: the image goes through their filters, so a page prints exactly one og:image and one twitter:image.
- Works with no SEO plugin too: the plugin adds the og:image and twitter:image tags itself.
- Choose whether getwowlink always sets the image, or only when a page has none and your featured images stay.
- A panel in the block editor shows the post's preview and lets you switch getwowlink off for that post.
- A settings page that shows your plan, the template, the homepage preview, and any other plugin or theme that also prints an og:image.
- Optional, off by default: "Track visits from shares" counts the visits that arrive from shared links, by platform, with no cookies and no visitor IDs.
- Install and activate the plugin, then open Settings → getwowlink and choose "Connect to getwowlink".
- In the tab that opens, sign in, pick a design and choose a plan. The free getwowlink Free plan covers one site.
- Back in WordPress, the settings page updates by itself. From then on, new and edited pages get their images.
- api.getwowlink.com is the getwowlink api. The plugin sends requests to it from your server.
- getwowimg.com serves the rendered preview images. Social networks and chat apps load the images from here, and the editor panel and the settings page in your WordPress admin load preview images from here too. When "Track visits from shares" is on, it also serves the visit script (below).
- www.getwowlink.com is the website where you sign in, design your template and manage your plan. The "Connect", "Edit template" and help links open it in your browser.
- When you start connecting: your site address and the WordPress admin URL, so getwowlink can send you back to this page.
- A status report ("heartbeat"): your site address, the WordPress admin URL, the versions of the plugin, WordPress and PHP, the name and version of the SEO plugin (Yoast SEO or Rank Math) if one is active, the names of any other plugin or theme found printing an og:image and when your homepage was last checked for that, and the plugin's settings (whether getwowlink replaces your own images, and which post types get images). It is sent when you finish connecting or save a site key, when you save the settings, when you press "Check again", and about once a day through WordPress cron.
- When you update a published post or page that uses getwowlink: the path of that page (for example /blog/launch-week), so getwowlink can refresh its image. At most once a minute per page.
- When you choose "Disconnect and remove images": a request telling getwowlink the site is disconnected.
- While a connection is pending: the pairing id and secret, to ask whether you finished in getwowlink (on admin page loads, and every few seconds while the settings page is open), and again if you cancel it.
- When you save a site key or open the settings page: a request for your site's settings from getwowlink (the site key only).
- In the background, when the cached settings have expired (at most every 12 hours, or 5 minutes after a failed try): the same request for your settings, started by WordPress cron after a page view. It carries the site key only.
- The site key that proves a request comes from your site is sent as a header with each request after connecting.
- "Track visits from shares" on or off: whether it is on, with the next status report after you change it in the settings, and once after you connect or after updating from 1.0 (off unless you turned it on). The same setting can be changed in getwowlink's Add to site dialog; the plugin picks that up with its settings (within 12 hours).
安装:
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New, search for "getwowlink" and choose Install Now, then Activate. Or upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/and activate it on the Plugins page. - Go to Settings → getwowlink and choose "Connect to getwowlink".
- In the tab that opens, sign in, pick a design and choose a plan. This page then shows your site as connected.
- Choose the post types that should get images and whether getwowlink replaces images you set yourself, then save.

常见问题:
Is it free?
The plugin is free. It needs a getwowlink account, and the getwowlink Free plan covers one site. Paid plans lift the monthly page limit.
Does it work with Yoast SEO and Rank Math?
Yes. The plugin detects them and sets the image through their own filters, so each page prints exactly one og:image and one twitter:image. With no SEO plugin, the plugin prints the tags itself.
Another plugin or my theme also prints an og:image. What do I do?
Then apps may pick the wrong picture. The settings page names the source it found. Jetpack, All in One SEO, SEOPress and some themes each have a setting to turn their image off; see the steps at https://www.getwowlink.com/integrations/wordpress#other-og-image.
Do I need pretty permalinks?
Yes. getwowlink makes an image for each page from its address, so with plain permalinks (?p=123) only the home page gets an image. Choose another structure in Settings → Permalinks.
The "Use for this post" switch in the editor is missing.
The switch is saved as a custom field, so the post type must support custom fields. Pages and posts do by default; a custom post type may need custom-fields in its supports list.
Can I keep the featured images I set myself?
Yes. In Settings → getwowlink choose "Only when a page has no image". Pages with a featured image keep it; the rest get a getwowlink image.
How fast does a new image appear?
Within about a minute after you publish or update a page. The first time a page is shared, getwowlink may render its image on demand.
What happens if I disconnect or deactivate the plugin?
"Disconnect and remove images" stops the plugin printing getwowlink images and forgets the site key. Your pages go back to whatever image your theme or SEO plugin would use. Deleting the plugin removes its settings from your database.
What does "Track visits from shares" do?
It counts the visits that come from shared links, by platform (X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and others), so getwowlink can show which shares bring visitors, and it gets a new page's image ready before its first share. It is off by default. When on, visitors' browsers send the page path, the referring site's domain, utm_source and whether the link came from Facebook; no cookies and no visitor IDs. See "External services" above.
What if getwowlink can't be reached?
Your pages keep rendering, and the plugin keeps printing image addresses from its cached settings. The settings page says it couldn't reach getwowlink until it can.
更新日志:
- New, off by default: "Track visits from shares" in Settings → getwowlink. Counts the visits that arrive from shared links, by platform, with no cookies and no visitor IDs. The setting is shared with getwowlink's Add to site dialog.
- First release: a preview image for every post and page, connect through getwowlink, works with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and no SEO plugin, block editor panel, and a settings page that detects other og:image sources.
