  Hello,
  When I post a url for my blog, Twitter displays the box but without an image. I’ve added the Yoast SEO plugin and selected ‘Summary with large image‘ under the Twitter Tab.
  Do I need to do anything else?
  It used to work but since I changed to self-hosting it’s stopped.
  Thank you.

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

  Hi there,

  If you share your site to Twitter, but your site icon and title don’t appear in your tweets, you can enter your URL into Twitter’s validator tool:

  https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

  For more information, please visit:

  If you continue to have problems, your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software and you need to seek help at these forums:

  Hope that helps.

  Thanks,

  Thanks Daniel

  I installed the Meta Cards plugin https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/twitter-cards-meta/ and can now see the image.

  I get confused between WP.com and WP.org.
  Must remember I’m now using .org!!

  Best wishes
