  I often send tweets using the website card facility on twitter. I have used the Twitter timeline widget on wordpress.com but the tweet cards come up blank. My page is https://andrewfrederickblog.wordpress.com/
  Do you know how to fix this?
  Thanks

  Hi –

  The first thing I would do is make sure that you are setting a featured image for every post. Double check that the featured image meets the theme’s image specs listed here: https://wordpress.com/theme/twentytwelve

  Featured image width is 624 (height is flexible)—

  Please send a link to a post and the associated Tweet so we can take a closer look as well. Thanks :)

  I have checked the link you have provided. The reference to ‘featured image’ on the page you have directed me to refers to posts and pages. I do not have a problem with images on posts and pages. The problem I have is with the twitter widget.

  If you look at this tweet on my twitter profile:
  https://twitter.com/AFrederickLaw/status/1175340892590411776
  I have included a website card with an image in the tweet.

  On my WordPress site on the twitter widget in the bottom right hand corner:
  https://andrewfrederickblog.wordpress.com/
  the tweet is shown, with the card, but the image on the card is blank.

  Regards

  Hi there,

  I now see the timeline widget correctly on your site. Were you able to find out the issue?

  No the widget is still not working correctly.
  It does show images on cards when I retweet another persons tweet, but it still doesn’t show the cards on my tweets.

  When I go to https://andrewfrederickblog.wordpress.com/ only one of the Twitter cards is displaying an image. The rest are blank gray images.

  Please share the following details:

  – operating system type and version number
  – browser type and version number

  I am going to clear the site cache just to make sure it’s not causing problems.

  Update: clearing the site cache made no changes in the widget display.

  That should be fine.

  Problem solved!
  Thanks Macmanx – it was add-blocker which was greying out the images.
