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.

The [opengraph tester](https://www.opengraph.xyz/url/https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.zoo.dev) shows us everything should be fine:

```plaintext

```

and expects the following results to show on Twitter and LinkedIn:

 ![The image displays a live preview showing various social media platform icons for "Zoo" alongside text describing the Zoo Community Forum on community.zoo.dev. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/2/3/d233cd4177013817d42d8a234fbe33e024265d00.png)

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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-discourse-with-cloudflare-best-practices/293405).

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](https://community.cloudflare.com/) about this may help.

I note that [https://community.cloudflare.com/](https://community.cloudflare.com/) _does_ appear properly on Twitter/LinkedIn, for what it’s worth, so evidently they’ve made this work.
