About link information from another site (in editor)

Hello @rodrigoflausino and thanks for your question. Do you have an example of a story with a link to a social media platform?

Are you referring to the optional description box text when adding a social media link?

If yes are you asking if the option to disable this automatically fetching is possible and just allow you to manually enter this value?

Some examples. In first and second links i mentioned many cosplayers, from a offline event in Brazil. To create the stories i get much time because Instagram links, to share cosplayers profiles.

Are you referring to the optional description box text when adding a social media link?

Yep! The optional description and the icon.

If yes are you asking if the option to disable this automatically fetching is possible and just allow you to manually enter this value?

Yep. Because in my host i will have some problems about this, including my normal posts. To set the optional value and link manually.

@rodrigoflausino you can edit the optional description and the brand icon with your own text and media. Are you looking for an option to simply stop Web Stories automatically pulling this information through to improve the performance for you?

Yep, but its only a suggestion for all editors.

@rodrigoflausino It’s possible we could add some special handling for Instagram links to fix the optional description box auto populating to “Login info”.

Is this something that would help you when adding these links to your stories?
