HI there, can you please provide us to some links to the twitter posts that didnt have an image?
Somehow there are now more to see, maybe it depends from which account I am viewing this?
But stii examples:
Completly without picture and placeholder (1-4 october):
@jaroslawistok The issue here is that twitter for some reason didn’t crawl/scrape your link to grab the preview link. Even WordPress.org shows the same issue, as you can see now, some tweets load with the link preview in your reply above while some still do not have the image.
For those that have the image, I ran them through twitter’s card validator: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator at that point Twitter sent a bot/spider to your site to grab the info and it detected that there was nothing wrong with the link, and when I checked back both on Twitter and here I saw the preview shows. It just seems to be a case where the link wasn’t crawled by Twitter yet.
For Facebook, we’re forcing them to scrape the shared links each time ROP performs a share. But unfortunately, Twitter does not have an API for this so we can’t force/call them to scrape the link as soon as it’s shared.
This is more on the end of Twitter and might be fixed automatically but unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do on our end to force the crawl. This doesn’t happen for all users, you’re the second user I’ve seen with this issue.
The only solution we have at this point is using the “Share as Image Post” option which would share the post as an image post with the tweet caption but this feature is a pro feature.
Thank you it seems to be a never endig problem by twitter.
