    Hi there,

    I have been trying to implement twitter cards to my twiiter account so I could tweet news from my website. I found your plugin and I would like to use it but I am not able to render my card preview when I use the validator tool. This is the message that I get:

    INFO: Page fetched successfully
    INFO: 12 metatags were found
    INFO: twitter:card = summary_large_image tag found
    WARN: Not whitelisted
    ERROR: Required meta tag missing (twitter:description)

    I look into the code end it looks like the plugin does not display twitter:description in meta tag:

    <!– JM Twitter Cards by Julien Maury 5.4.2 –>
    <meta name=”twitter:card” content=”summary_large_image”>
    <meta name=”twitter:creator” content=”@CreativeGentle”>
    <meta name=”twitter:site” content=”@CreativeGentle”>
    <meta name=”twitter:title” content=”MARIO BALOTELLI IN MANCHESTER”>
    <meta name=”twitter:image:src” content=”http://creativegentleman.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/mario-balotelli-teaser.jpg”&gt;
    <meta name=”twitter:image:width” content=”280″>
    <meta name=”twitter:image:height” content=”150″>
    <!– /JM Twitter Cards 5.4.2 –>

    Do you know what might be wrong and how I could fix it?

    regards

    I’ve got the same issue. This plugin used to work though.

    The thing is I got this error:

    ERROR: Required meta tag missing (twitter:description)
    ERROR: Required meta tag missing (twitter:title)

    But the title is present actually, it’s just ignore.

    I tried to use custom fields, with ACF but had no luck.
    I’m not even getting the empty/blank meta, nothing at all.

    I found out that the reason it was working before was because of ExpressCurate plugin was adding the :description along with it’s own card type.

    This is one of those day I’d love to work with other stuff than coding.

    I was finally able to make it working by changing a line in the options.class.php file.

    at the end of the description function definition

    change this line

    return array('description' => apply_filters('jm_tc_get_excerpt', $cardDescription));

    to this:

    return array('description' => $cardDescription);

    I’ve forgot to say I was also using a custom field

    That’s not normal. I’ll fix it. Thanks for reporting.
