  I received the below feedback from LinkedIn, but I am not sure how to make this change. Can anyone assist?

  Making Your Website Shareable on LinkedIn
  If you’d like people to be able to share your site’s content on LinkedIn, the source code on your site needs to comply with certain requirements. If you’re not the developer for your website, we recommend contacting your site’s developer and asking them to review the guidelines below.
  If you’re the developer of your website, you’ll need to make sure the source code complies with Open Graph Protocol (OGP) and certain image requirements specific to LinkedIn. Our developer website contains more details on setting display tags for shares (available in English only).
  Below are the og: tags that must exist and their correct format:

  Here are the image requirements specific to the LinkedIn sharing module:
  Max file size: 5 MB
  Minimum image dimensions: 1200 (w) x 627 (h) pixels
  Recommended ratio: 1.91:1
  Note: If the image meets the requirements, but it still does not appear in updates on LinkedIn, your website may be blocking us from pulling the image or the image may be located on a protected directory or website.

  Hi there,

  Is this for https://sidehustlemama.co/?

  That site is not hosted on WordPress.com, just connected here via the Jetpack plugin. Sites like yours using the open source version of WordPress do not have OG tags enabled by default. That has to be added via a SEO plugin.

  The OG tags currently visible in your site’s source code are being added by the https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm/ plugin, so you’ll need to contact support for that plugin for help setting these up properly.
