Biggest opportunity: Swap “social” and “bluesky” for “graph” and “open”. “social” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “graph” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “bluesky” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “open” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 242.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it

This plugin does what it says it does – it adds open graph metadata on website. No configuration and do the work just as advertised. Simply excellent.

Wow thank you for making this plugin!!! I was so stressed about thumbnails errors but now I don’t need to worry about it! Thanks!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ stargirl15.3y ago
Great plug-in! I just installed it last night and now the og:image (large image preview) is looking correct on my posts when shared to Facebook. I normally don’t leave reviews but noticed this plug-in had very few. It worked like a charm on my website to show the big preview when others (including some well known ones) wouldn’t. I was getting frustrated and wasting time googling plug-ins that didn’t work on my site for some reason. Finally this one worked! It does what it says, and is very simple to use, no configuration needed. This topic was modified 5 years ago by stargirl1.

Added this to a stock WordPress install, and Facebook previews for my pages began working correctly immediately! Thanks!

Runs just fine with 4.8. Had to edit the plugin and enable strict mode to make Facebook’s sharing debugger happy – it’s not happy about meta property=foo name=foo. Once that was done, the debugger showed all of the images in each post under the og:image tag, and sharing on Facebook enabled choosing one or more images for the share.
