ogdynamic – Dynamic Open Graph & Social Image Generator for WordPress

Description

When you share a link on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Slack, the first thing people see is the link preview image. Without a compelling Open Graph image, your content gets ignored. Most WordPress sites either show the same generic image for every page or rely on the featured image alone — neither makes your content stand out.

ogdynamic solves this by automatically generating professional, dynamic Open Graph images for every page on your WordPress site. It connects to ogdynamic.com and uses customizable templates to create unique social media images that include your post title, author, excerpt, product price, categories, and more — all without slowing down your website.

Why Use ogdynamic?

• Save hours of design work — No need to manually create share images for every post or product
• Works with your existing setup — Compatible with popular SEO plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and more
• Set it and forget it — Configure once and every new post automatically gets its own unique OG image
• eCommerce ready — Full WooCommerce support with product price, SKU, stock status, and attributes in your social images

How It Works

1. Connect your WordPress site to ogdynamic via secure OAuth from the admin dashboard
2. Choose a template from your ogdynamic account for each content type (posts, pages, products, archives)
3. Map your WordPress content fields to the template variables (title, subtitle, image, price, etc.)
4. ogdynamic automatically generates the right Open Graph image for every page — no ongoing effort needed

Template Mappings

Each template has overridable fields that you map to WordPress data. For example, you can map your post title to the template’s headline field, your featured image to the background, and your author name to the byline.

Available WordPress fields by content type:
– All content types: Site name, site tagline
– Posts & Pages: Post title, excerpt, trimmed content, featured image, author name, published date, modified date, category, tags
– Products (WooCommerce): All post fields plus product short description, product price, regular price, sale price, SKU, product category, product tags, product attributes, stock status, rating, review count
– Archive pages: Site name, site tagline, plus category or tag names for their respective archives

External Service

This plugin connects to the ogdynamic service at ogdynamic.com.

The service is used to:

• Authenticate your site via OAuth when you connect the plugin
• Fetch your ogdynamic account and template data in the WordPress admin
• Generate and serve dynamic Open Graph images from ogdynamic’s infrastructure

When an OG image is configured, the plugin adds the generated image URL to your page’s social meta tags. Normal site visitors do not download the OG image during a regular page load. Social platforms and link preview tools fetch the image from ogdynamic’s CDN when someone shares or previews the page URL.

An ogdynamic account is required because the image rendering work is performed by ogdynamic’s servers instead of your WordPress server.
