## Beschreibung

OpenGraph Fallback Embed adds a custom Gutenberg block and an auto-embed fallback
that renders rich link cards using OpenGraph metadata from any URL.

**Features:**

 * **OpenGraph Embed block** — Paste any URL to embed it as a styled card showing
   the page’s title, description, image, and site name.
 * **Auto-embed fallback** — When WordPress can’t find an oEmbed provider for a 
   URL pasted on its own line, this plugin automatically fetches the page’s OpenGraph
   tags and renders a card instead of a plain link.
 * **Graceful degradation** — Falls back to Twitter Card meta tags, then to HTML`
   <title>` and `<meta name="description">` when OpenGraph tags are missing.
 * **Transient caching** — Fetched metadata is cached for 7 days to minimise external
   requests.

### Development

The source code for this plugin, including unminified JavaScript and CSS, is available
on GitHub:

[OpenGraph Fallback Embed on GitHub](https://github.com/pento/opengraph-fallback-embed)

The plugin uses [@wordpress/scripts](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/)
for building. Source files are in the `src/` directory. See the repository README
for build instructions.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * A URL with no oEmbed provider shows as a plain link by default.
 * [[
 * With OpenGraph Fallback Embed active, the same URL renders as a rich card with
   title, description, and image.

 * The OpenGraph Embed block in the editor with a live preview.

## Blöcke

 *   OpenGraph Embed Embed any page as a rich link card using its OpenGraph tags.

## FAQ

### What happens if a URL has no OpenGraph tags?

The plugin falls back to Twitter Card meta tags, then to the page’s `<title>` and`
<meta name="description">`. If none of these are available, the original WordPress
output is preserved.

### Does this override existing embed providers?

No. This plugin only activates when WordPress has no other embed handler for the
URL.

### Can I customise the card appearance?

The card uses the `.og-fallback-embed` CSS class. You can override styles in your
theme.
