In this topic: About the Plugin category How do you get the shared links (e.g. the “Install Plugins in Discourse” link) to unfurl in the quote-like box like, like in the below screenshot? I saw the post was a wiki and clicked edit to to see how it was built, but it’s just a url to that topic. When I do the same in my community, though, it does not unfurl like this. [image]

Ah…solved my own problem. Links won’t unfurl if the link you are sharing is in a private category, even if you (the user viewing) have access. Good to know!

[image] Jordan Violet: When I do the same in my community, though, it does not unfurl like this. Are you linking to posts on another site? I think it only works if it’s on the same site as the post/topic being linked to.

I’m linking to topics in the same Discourse site.

oh yea you can’t share link boxes to secured categories.
