OpenGraph not working after using this plugin
-
After activating this plugin all OpenGraph metatags are being moved very low on head so it’s not being recognized by crawlers. I suggest to move all styles being created after all other tags in head section. It’s possible to fix this issue?

This plugin should insert all his code at the very bottom of the head section, not before all the main tags. Because also it’s not using the standard wp_head function with priorities, like other plugins. So future versions should have at least an option to let the user choose if he wants to put the CSS code at the bottom of head section.
Could you fix this, please?
Yes, but this is a problem, not a beauty. I’ll try to explain it.
The data crawlers like in Facebook, Twitter, etc, only retrieve the first portion of a page, so if metatags are very far from the beggining of the head section, they fail (some have different limits to retrieve and wait).
In other hand, when you say that your plugin respect the order, you are forgiving that before the replacements, all stuff that was there were CSS file references, that is, a shorter strings with less bytes. So, when a CSS file link is replaced with inline contents, the amount of bytes into the HTML file is bigger, and that’s why the OpenGraph scrappers fails having the same order into the head section.
The solution is very easy: put an option in your plugin (a checkbox, to make it optional) to move all the CSS, JS and inline definitions to bottom. That way the OpenGraph metas and other main metatags will remain at the very top, allowing bots and scrappers to work better.
I hope that now you could understand the idea. That’s why after using this plugin, bots and scrappers that was working before are stopping to do the same after that.
