This article outlines the configuration options available for the Cincopa plugin in WordPress. To access the Cincopa configuration options, hover on Settings from the left hand side menu and then click on Cincopa Options.

Excerpt Handling

The WordPress Excerpt is an optional summary or description of a post; in short, a post summary. Click here to learn more.

Some themes will use the default automatic WordPress excerpt behavior which can result in a messy post summary. To fix that use one of those options that will instruct Cincopa plugin what to do with your gallery:

• Do nothing – leave the default WordPress behavior.
• Clean excerpt – do not show the gallery at all.
• Remove gallery from non post pages – do not show the gallery at all. This will work even when template developer hasn’t used the_excerpt() template tag.
• Full excerpt – show the gallery as is.

User Open Graph Tags

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in the social graph.

For instance, it is used by Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook and to allow automatic discovery of images, text and video in your page.

When opt-in the plugin adds open graph metadata to the page that it is hosted at, it allows the user to share the page on Facebook for example and get the thumbnail from the gallery.

The open Graph protocol is enabled by default.

Async engine

Cincopa Async (asynchronous) Engine utilizes the new HTML 5 standard which allows page script to be loaded in an asynchronous way. When Cincopa Async Engine is turned on the page will load much faster especially when the page is loaded with media.

Most modern browsers support this feature, for browsers that do not support HTML 5 the page will load using the sync standard.

RSS Handling

RSS handling in WordPress enables all articles to be exposed as an RSS feed, commonly used for music services or RSS readers. This feature guides plugins on how to manage galleries found within an article in the RSS feed.

If an article includes embed code, it can either be replaced by a thumbnail or remain as embed code. Previously, when users connected their RSS feed to an RSS reader and added a gallery to a page, the gallery would appear as a thumbnail in the RSS feed instead of the full gallery.

Add gallery using PHP code

If you would like to embed a gallery directly into your template, use the following PHP code:

<?php echo cincopa_mp_cincopa_tag("GALLERY ID"); ?>
