    I am testing the free plugin to see if it will work for us before purchasing. The Facebook Share works as expected showing the image, title and description. The Linkedin share only uses the custom url and doesn’t show the title or image. LinkedIn is the most important network for us. Is there something extra I have to do for LinkedIn or does it require the paid plugin to get the full share.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    As I see in your example image you set data-url property with UTM tags inside. Please try to remove these tags and check image sharing one more time.

    Thanks for the quick response. I shortened?the link so it doesn’t have the utm parameters. The title and summary now show. Is there any way to get the image to show with LinkedIn or will it show once it’s actually posted?

    Please try the following: open wp-content/plugins/share-this-image/sharer.php file, find lines

     echo '<meta property="og:image" content="'.$image.'" />';

    and replace with

     echo '<meta name="image" property="og:image" content="'.$image.'" />';

    Then check sharing buttons one more time.

    I actually the problem is something on my test site because sharing the page with the image set in yoast isn’t working either. Thanks for such a quick response. We have purchased the pro version.

    I activated the plugin on another site where the page share (not share this image) works correctly. Facebook and Twitter properly show the image but it still doesn’t when I share to LinkedIn with the Share This Image buttons. I made and verified the change you suggested. Any ideas why Linkedin won’t pick up the image?

    The strange thing is that when I test sharing to linkedin and hit the share in a post, I don’t get the options you usually get with linkedin to add a photo. They show and then disappear.
