Adds proper Facebook Open Graph Meta tags and values to your site so when links are shared it looks awesome!
== Description ==
This plugin adds well executed and accurate Facebook Open Graph Meta tag information to your site. The idea is to keep minimal settings and options as to remain out of your way and in the background while still proving a powerful Open Graph plugin for your WordPress site. This plugin works on Facebook, Google Plus, and Linkedin.
Shortname: WPFBOGP
= Image Handling =
By popular demand we've added a setting so the Fallback image in settings can be the default sitewide. If you don't check that box, here's now she works.
The plugin will first look for a featured image. If there isn't one or your theme doesn't have those available, then it will pull the image(s) in the post/page content. If that isn't there either, then it will default to using the image you put into the plugin settings in the admin panel. If THAT isn't there then... well you fail and you won't have an image and we'll put a comment in your source to remind you to add one as Facebook requires one.
New in 2.0 - We'll pull ALL those images and feed them to Facebook and Google + so you can hit the arrows to select which one you want. It will use the fallback image first IF it's selected as default, then will do featured image next and then any content images.
Test with the Facebook Debugger.
= Title and Description =
New in 2.0+, the plugin will use the title and meta description from ANY SEO plugin or theme, including Genesis and Thesis. Worst case it'll fall back to pulling some of your content as a last-ditch backup. But if you're concerned with what your Open Graph tags look like, then you should probably be running some kind of SEO plugin anyways. AMIRITE?
= Testing Your Site =
Once you've enabled the plugin head over to Facebook's testing tool and paste in one of your post/page url's or your home page to see what info Facebook is pulling in. This tool is located here: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
= Plugin Roadmap =
If you have feature requests or bugs? Use the support links on rYnoweb.com/WordPress-Plugins and get in touch.
== Installation ==
- Upload the
wp-facebook-ogp folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the WP Facebook OGP plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- You MUST add your Facebook ID OR an App ID to the Plugin Settings page for the plugin to produce OGP meta data. This is required by Facebook.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Do I need to create a Facebook Application to use this plugin? =
No. Either your Facebook User ID or or an Application ID is a requirement. You're not required to register an app, instead just use your User ID (plugin admin settings page helps you find that). You can use both an App ID and User ID if you'd like. More details on how Facebook verifies admins is located here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/insights/
= Why doesn't this plugin have a Like/Send button? =
Honestly it's not hard to add one once you have the proper meta content in the header. Look at how to add a Like button using fb:like. There are a lot of 'like' button plugins but this one focuses on solid and accurate Open Graph meta data.
== Screenshots ==
- The Open Graph admin options panel has all options laid out in one easy place. The rest is all behind the scenes.

= 2.0.5 =
- Short: Dollar signs in titles were screwing things up. Long Story: Fixed a bug where preg_replace() would think a dollar sign in the argument is a backreference, instead of just a dollar sign. Now using preg_quote() to escape all regex variables/symbols in a string. Makes things mo betta!

- Changed front pages to have the og:type 'website', not 'article'.
- Fixed bug where the 'force fallback' checkbox will check itself after initial installation.
