  Hello, For some reason – and this is a new problem – when I use the short link on twitter or on Facebook, there is no preview and it does not connect to the current blog post. It calls up a blank box, no photo and the text is just for the Blog Name ….. not the new post. In the past, when I used the shortlink, it would direct you to the most current blog post with a preview to match that. This has been a problem on Facebook for several months. This month it is also occurring in Twitter. I have to use the entire long permalink in order to call up a preview for the new entry. Is it the theme that has gone bad?

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

  Hi there,

  Can you give us the Shortlink that you plan to share in Facebook? Just to confirm – the long URL works fine right?

  I doubt it has anything to do with the theme, but do give us the information and we’ll look into it for you. :)

  Thanks,
  Gideon

  Yes, long URL works fine. Here is shortlink: http://wp.me/p6LAo5-n1 and it is the second shortlink as I edited the first one when it did not work.

  Hi there,

  I’ve checked your shortlink, and it seems that your website is a self-hosted website, using WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com

  This forum is only dedicated to supporting websites which are hosted on WordPress.COM only.

  To get support for WordPress.ORG, I would like to redirect you to raise this issue here: https://wordpress.org/support/

  Let us know if you need any further assistance.

  Thanks,
  Gideon

  Can you help me find a short link for a recent blog I’ve written. I can’t remember how to find it.
