Social Media Manager

This plugin helps you optimize your website for social media with Open Graph and Twitter Cards meta tags. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites will evaluate these meta tags to understand your content better and enable to preview the content on the News Feed nicely. This plugin allows you to customize the meta tags, so you have more control over your posts and pages presentation. Other features included in the plugin: Social Media Buttons Display social buttons to allow your readers sharing your website posts and pages to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc. You can also display the social buttons on the images within the content. With the increasing trend on using WordPress as a headless CMS, this plugin also exposes a couple of custom JSON API routes using the WP-API infrastructure in WordPress. The API allows developers to retrieve the social media sharing endpoint URLs of a particular post or page and render the sharing buttons in, for example, a JavaScript-based theme. Social Media Profiles With this plugin you can add your social profile and page URLs and display them on a widget. No need to mess around with your theme Menu ever again; the widget will stay there even when you've changed the theme. Translations
