Links to blog posts on social media

BUYVEST — Tue, 21 May 2024 11:21:24 GMT

Hi,

I am encountering an issue with sharing blog post links on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Threads). When I post a link, the preview image does not appear; it only shows a link on Twitter and a black box on the other platforms. I have already added an image to both the blog post and the preview image option.

Is there a solution to this, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi @BUYVEST,

Meta and LinkedIn have debuggers for that purpose to check if the image simply hasn't been crawled yet or if there is an underlying issue.

Which result are you getting?

Best regards
