  I’ve been having trouble linking my blog to urbanspoon since 3 Dec (my last published post), I’ve pasted their image link as instructed and have even refreshed the page a few times with no luck…is there something I need to do with my wordpress account or do I need to contact urbanspoon?

  Link to one of the blog posts that has not been picked up https://brunchjournal.wordpress.com/2014/12/11/chez-dre/

  Thanks for your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What is “their image link as instructed?”

  I do see an urbanspoon image at the very bottom of the post you linked to. (screenshot)

  If that image is being pulled in from urbanspoon’s servers, it may have been a hiccup on their end.

  I’m thinking there might be some code being stripped out. But we’d have to have more details than we have now to make that diagnosis.

  Will you please post the code you have been using here between code tags so we can examine it in this forum thread and find out what’s going on?

  Hi all – thanks so much for your help and responses! I’ve copy and pasted the link listed for Chez Dre below…

  <img alt=”Chez Dré on Urbanspoon” src=”http://www.urbanspoon.com/b/link/1589178/minilink.gif” style=”border:none;width:130px;height:36px” />

  I’ve also tried the other logo/ icon with no success

  <img alt=”Chez Dré on Urbanspoon” src=”http://www.urbanspoon.com/b/link/1589178/biglink.gif” style=”border:none;width:200px;height:146px” />

  Thanks again!

  You did not use the CODE Tags, so we still cannot judge the code. IT’s the second last button just above the Write Post box.

  Uh, hello? I am able to see the image link to urbanspoon at the bottom of the post referenced. I also took a screenshot of it in my above reply Maybe I’m totally misunderstanding the OP’s question.

  FWIW this is the code from the page source:
  <p><a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/1589178/restaurant/Melbourne/Chez-Dre-South-Melbourne"><img style="border:none;width:130px;height:36px;" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.urbanspoon.com/b/link/1589178/minilink.gif" alt="Chez Dré on Urbanspoon" /></a></p>

  The image is indeed being hotlinked from urbanspoon.

  @brunchjournal – You might want to check that you don’t have some kind of adblocking software or browser extension that may be interfering with the display in your browser.

  If the actual question is why the post on your site isn’t showing up on urbanspoon, their forums would be the best place to ask this question.

  Sorry guys didn’t mean to confuse, yes the question is that the link shows up here but does not show up on urbanspoon…I will send them a query. Thanks!

  Hi all! Yes I contacted urbanspoon and they told me they were having trouble linking to wordpress due to a recent upgrade, best to contact them directly and they will manually link your posts for you.
