Content Sources

Overview

Plugin has special rules on how to choose what image, title, description and URL to share. About these rules you can read here.

For example, for the title value plugin first looks for data-title attribute of the image, then for title attribute, then for the default title value from the plugin settings page and in the end looks for the current page title value.

But the PRO plugin version gives you the option to change these rules. You can change the order of sources or even remove some of them.

Here is the full list of available content sources that you can choose from:

• image URL value
• image title attribute value
• image alt attribute value
• image caption value
• image data-title attribute value
• image data-summary attribute value
• image data-url attribute value
• image any custom attribute value
• current page URL value
• current page title value
• current page excerpt value
• current page custom field value
• custom block inner content value
• custom block attribute value
• value from Default title option fields
• value from Default description option fields
• value from Default URL option fields

Title Source

Go to the plugin settings page -> Content tab and find Title Source option. Here you can set different content sources for the title of sharing content.

Title source option

So, for example, you can change active source to data-summary attribute > title attribute > document title.

New order for title sources

So with this new order for title sources plugin will look first for title in data-summary attribute of image. If it is empty or does not exist then the plugin will search for title attribute. And in the end I will look for a document title.

Description Source

Open plugin settings page -> Content tab and find Description Source
option. Here you can set different content sources for description of sharing content.

Description sources are exactly the same as title sources. So, like and for title, you can change the order of these sources or remove/add some of them.

Description source option

As you see, the first plugin searches for data-summary attributes, then for alt attributes and then for default description from the plugin settings page.

Like and for title source you can change this order.

For example, let plugin first look for alt attribute, then for data-title attribute and then for default description.

New order for description sources

URL Source

It is also possible to customize an image URL that will be shared along with the image. By default will be the shared URL of the page where the image is displayed.

To change default content sources for sharing URL go to plugin settings page -> Content tab and find URL Source option. Then add/remove any content source fields that you need.

URL source option

So with this settings plugin first will look for data-url attribute and if it's presented use its value as URL for shared page. If this attribute is not presented or empty, that current page URL will be used instead.
