  Dear all
  Since two weeks from now, my new blog posts can only be seen on wordpress. When I publish the link on a social network platforms like Facebook. LinkedIn or Xing, only the name of the blog can be seen, not the picture or the latest update of the blog. How is that pssible?

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

  Hi there, Claudine –

  So if I understand you correctly, when you post a link like this one:
  https://claudinebirbaum.wordpress.com

  on a social media website such as Facebook, the post does not pull in the image from the blog and it looks like this? http://awesomescreenshot.com/0db5zk438c

  I’m not sure why it’s not pulling an image into the post. I’ve added the modlook tag to this thread to draw a Happiness Engineer to help you. Please be patient while s/he gets to your post, and make sure that you also subscribe to this thread so you know when someone responds.

  Best,

  Also, you may want to try posting in the German language support forum here:

  Best,

  Are you still having trouble, @claudinebirmaum?

  I’ve verified your latest post here:
  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

  The image shows correctly there. If that still isn’t working for you, can you make a public link to a facebook post that is broken, and paste it here so we can check it?

  Dear all,
  yes, the post looks exactly like Cat posted it.
  Here is the link to the my public facebook page, where I posted the link to my blog:

  Hi @claudinebirbaum, what happens if you link to an article directly, like this?
  https://claudinebirbaum.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/schritt-fue-schritt-teil-4/

  Also, did you know you can publish new articles to Facebook (and Twitter, and more) automatically? You can set that up under My Site > Sharing.
