Hello!
I’m having issues producing an image when trying to post the link on Twitter and Linkedin. I end up getting these images instead. We have it set up with our logo in the metadata, but it isn’t showing up. How do I fix it so the image we want shows up?
TIA!
It works here - is this the image you expect?
Okay so the issue is not Discourse’s image link previews in topics
But your forum Link’s display on platforms like Twitter/KunkedIn?
It is! But it’s not the image that shows up for Twitter or Linkedin.
Right - it doesn’t show up on Twitter and Linkedin
The opengraph tester shows us everything should be fine:

and expects the following results to show on Twitter and LinkedIn:
The problem does not seem to be in the data Discourse is returning.
Assuming of course, that Twitter/LinkedIn receive this data.
I would guess the problem is that Cloudflare is blocking the request from Twitter/LinkedIn that crawls the site to generate the preview.
Ahh I see - so seems like there’s nothing else I can do on my end?
Thank you for your help!
Not on the Discourse side, I believe.
The next step would be testing this assumption.
Make sure you’ve followed the Cloudflare Guide.
Disabling Cloudflare temporarily may help, but Twitter/LinkedIn might cache their results and this may not have immediate effect.
Access logs might have more information.
Posting on Cloudflare’s Community about this may help.
I note that https://community.cloudflare.com/ does appear properly on Twitter/LinkedIn, for what it’s worth, so evidently they’ve made this work.
