Hello, Thank you for reaching out. This might be caused by another plugin that generates your metadata (Open Graph Tags). The social media networks will always display the information of your website’s source code since Blog2Social just sends your link towards them. After that, they try to fetch the necessary information (“ og:image ” or “ twitter:image ”) from your links source code. For example, if there are different open graph tags in your source code or if your post was not available on your website, this could cause issues. Kindly check the following guides: What are open graph tags and what do I use them for? Troubleshooting: Checklist and solutions for setting Open Graph Tags Why is my image not displayed in my social media posts? Therefore, please ensure that you are using only one plugin to set your metadata, that your security plugins are not set too strictly and that your post / website is available so this information can be properly fetched.
Thanks for your response. I’ll explore and troubleshoot what you’re suggesting.
