Twitter Posts

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    My buddy and I have a site through WordPress (hawkjock.com) and when we post our blogs on Twitter it won’t show anything but the link. How can we set it up so when we post on Twitter it shows a picture and link to the blog? Most other sites I’ve posted on twitter do exactly that. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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

    Hi there, are you using Jetpack and the Publicize feature, or are you just using the sharing buttons below your posts?

    What Twitter decides to pull from a post as far as an image is up to them and not something you are typically in control of. Generally they will pull a featured image, if one is set, or they will pull an image from within the post content. They will look for images that are within their guidelines for image size and file size.

    It doesn’t look like you are using Jetpack, so that is about the best I can do since you are not hosted here at WordPress.com. These forums are for those hosted here at WordPress.com.

    For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help from the plugin author directly or ask in the volunteer-based WordPress.org forums.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate, so if you do not already have an account at WordPress.org, you will need to register.

    The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
