No nonsense, just works.

Perfect Plugin

Does exactly what it should, and does it well. This is the plugin you are looking for if you are reading this review!

by brianhurley

I like this plug-in better than the built-in WordPress mastodon sharing

I tried them all… and this is the best. I recommend this over the wordpress default automatic mastodon sharing functionality. I appreciate the work the developer put into this!👍👍

Thank you! This plugin helped me to get all the Yoast meta data in JSON format, so I can use it in my website build with React in combination with Headless WordPress.
