Open Graph in the Minute Launch Software Kit
What is Open Graph?
Open Graph is a metadata standard used by social media platforms to control how links appear when shared, ensuring a professional and engaging preview with a title, description, and image.
How Open Graph Works in the Minute Launch Software Kit
- Featured Image → Open Graph pulls the Featured Image set for each page, post, or Fluent Community space.
- Fallback Image → If no Featured Image is set, it uses the first image in the content.
- Default Image → A site-wide fallback image can be set in the Open Graph plugin settings.
Why Open Graph Matters
- Better Previews – Ensures clean, branded link previews.
- Higher Engagement – Visually appealing previews boost clicks and shares.
- Brand Consistency – Controls how your content appears across platforms.
