Simple Blog Card

June 27, 2024

Simple Blog Card Plugin

Get OGP and display blog card.

Blog card

  • Generated with shortcode
  • Generated with block
  • Can specify the number of characters displayed in the description.
  • Displays an ogp image.
  • Can specify the size of the displayed ogp image.
  • Can change the title and description.

Warning

A redirect loop occurs when all three of the following factors are met:
* When two sites with different domains embed “Simple Blog Card” for each other on their top pages.
* When two sites with different domains are on the same server (same IP address).
* When the ”Simple Blog Card” caches of two sites on different domains are empty.

How it works

Customize

  • Template files allow for flexible customization.
  • The default template file is template/simpleblogcard-template.php. Using this as a reference, you can specify a separate template file using the filters below.
/** ================================================== * Filter for template file. * */ add_filter( 'simple_blog_card_generate_template_file', function () { $wp_uploads = wp_upload_dir(); $upload_dir = wp_normalize_path( $wp_uploads['basedir'] ); $upload_dir = untrailingslashit( $upload_dir ); return $upload_dir . '/tmp/simpleblogcard-template.php'; }, 10, 1 ); 
  • CSS files can be set separately. Please see the filters below.
/** ================================================== * Filter for CSS file. * */ add_filter( 'simple_blog_card_css_url', function () { $wp_uploads = wp_upload_dir(); $upload_url = $wp_uploads['baseurl']; if ( is_ssl() ) { $upload_url = str_replace( 'http:', 'https:', $upload_url ); } $upload_url = untrailingslashit( $upload_url ); return $upload_url . '/tmp/simpleblogcard.css'; }, 10, 1 ); 

Installation

  1. Upload simple-blog-card directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

WP-CLI

Can delete and regenerate the cache with the following WP-CLI command. It would be beneficial to register it with the server’s cron.
* wp simpleblogcard_refresh
