As someone who curates content regularly, this plugin is really what I’ve been searching for. Thank you for it!

Functionally this is good but no where are we told that the plugin uses Microlink API which has a limit of 50 requests per day. They don’t inform the user of this. Neither do they put up a message telling the user the limit has been reached !

I had been using a different plugin’s pro version (Inline Related Posts). But the site I was using it on is very large, 38 thousand posts and counting, and that plugin’s performance was becoming extremely erratic. All really needed was a plugin that would let me search for the post link I wanted to add, pull its title, image, and excerpt into a block, and add some custom styling. Visual Link Preview does exactly that! Thank you for making this plugin

<!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>The idea is great, but there are several shortcomings.<br>* Lacks basic localisation stuff like using translate files for “read more”-buttons (they’re in the standard wordpress translations, just add ‘wordpress’ after the string). Having to build a new template simply to translate a button is annoying. </p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Edit: this is fixed :)</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>* It’s not possible to add new blocks in templates. This limits severely the types of templates one can create, and the usefulness of this plugin.<br><br>Edit:</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>As for custom blocks, I mostly want to add a “Read more about this” to the top of template.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –> <!– wp:paragraph –> <p class=””>Though, I wished that template building was similar to normal block editing. So instead of custom settings, I could use the default block editor to set typography, colors, margins, padding, border etc.<br>That of course means to rewrite much of the plugin, but it would probably be better in the long run. First it would be consistent with the rest of Wordpress. It would also fix any responsivity issues (as the theme would handle that) and make it easier to create nice designs (using cover block for instance would be nice) for the users.</p> <!– /wp:paragraph –>
