    Hi,

    I see a number of people cannot share image on Whatsapp – I have the latest plugin version and only the URL shows up not the image. This is both on mobile and Whatsapp desktop app.

    If I paste the same image link into Whatsapp, the preview works fine. I tried the suggested code snippet below, but this hasn’t worked.

    Is this possible to fix where the image preview shows when sharing?

    Thanks,

    Gareth

    Hi,

    So do you see this image when you send a message to WhatsApp? I mean inside the feed or it still looks like just plain text with URL? If the second?one – please show me an example of how it looks.

    Yes it looks like plain text with URL, with file name showing at the bottom with a box where image should be as just a grey box as below screenshot:

    So when you press Send – inside the feed do you see the same plain text or image attached to the message after sending?

    Yes, after sending I see a link and image name but no image / preview like below:

    Please try to use this code snippet:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sti_wp_enqueue_scripts', 9999999 );
    function sti_wp_enqueue_scripts() {

    $script = "
    function sti_url( url, options ) {
    if ( options.data.network === 'whatsapp' ) {
    url = 'https://api.whatsapp.com/send?';
    url += 'text=' + encodeURIComponent( options.data.title + ' | ' + options.data.summary + ' ' + options.data.media );
    }
    return url;
    }
    StiHooks.add_filter( 'sti_sharing_url', sti_url );
    ";

    wp_add_inline_script( 'sti-script', $script);

    }

    Thanks, I am getting the following error message:

    (I am installing via Code Snippets plugin)

    Cannot redeclare sti_wp_enqueue_scripts() (previously declared in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/includes/class-wpcode-snippet-execute.php(292) : eval()'d code:3)

    Looks like you didn’t remove a previous code snippet. Please disable/remove it and try one more time.

    Thanks this snippet is now active, however the preview still isn’t showing?
