Creates previews of links with title, description and preview images similar to sharing links on social networks.

== Description ==

**Please note that this plugin is currently in stable BETA. If you find any bugs please report via *Support* Tab and I will be happy to find a solution.**

This plugin allows you to create previews of links similar to common social networks when sharing a link.

It works by fetching the link URL and examining either the **facebook Open Graph** properties or **Twitter card** tags including any preview image.
Any title, description or image is stored inside this Wordpress' own database and subsequently used from there to render the Beautiful Link Preview.

**Usage:** just add the following shortcode to any HTML block in your post or page:

    [beautiful_link_preview url="https://zeitwesentech.com"]


== Installation ==

1. Unpack the contents of this zip file and upload it to your wp-content/plugins folder
