Photos Not Showing In Summary Twitter Card…

Hello @vdn-staff,

I tested your website through the Twitter Card validator and it seems the card information can’t be rendered.
Your past shares also do not correlate to the outputted metadata.

This leads me to think (looking at your page’s source) that the HTML before the SEO metadata is either invalid, or much too long.
I can believe the latter to be true, as massive sharing engines like Twitter simply can’t handle the millions of links that are shared… thus they strip down on their “crawl”.
Nevertheless, you’d have to ask Twitter if you wish to know the exact cause.

I hope this leads you into a right direction for a fix. The Twitter Card validator linked above tests real time data (AFAIK).

Best of luck! Cheers ??

Well I made a few changes but the problem still exists…

Hi @vdn-staff,

The Twitter card meta can now be read correctly :). So you took a step in the right direction!

I believe the issue now is that the twitter:image links are scheme relative, but I’d assume they’d fix that locally… alas and unfortunately, they don’t.
On the 4th of November 2016, Twitter staff said:

You need to include a fully qualified domain and protocol (i.e. https://yoursite.com) before the image path. The fetcher grabs that image separately, so it can’t do relative lookups.

The SEO Framework never outputs scheme relative links. And your website forces HTTPS (which is good!), so I’d assume another plugin is conflicting here which rewrites URLs to become relative.

I would suggest, when possible, to alter the URL rewrite settings of the rewrite plugin to set all local URLs to HTTPS.

Twitter will refresh its image cache for your website, as there was none before. So all newly shared links should be correctly output on Twitter.

I hope this helps! Best of luck ??

I’ve also applied the robots.txt Twitterbot fix as well. So I’ll see where that goes…
