Description of issue: Can’t get cards to work. Image does not show up … “share” does not appear to render as a card at all.
URL affected (must be public): https://sites.photographerflashwebsites.com/products/product/maseratis/maserati-d
Troubleshooting steps attempted [note that we will not prioritise posts unless there is evidence of following the troubleshooting guides]:
- tried using twitter tags, tried using og tags
- tried editing robots.txt (tried a bunch of different settings)
- tried using curl while specifying -A Twitterbot (appears to be getting blocked even with completely blank robots.txt)
Just no clue how to get this to work as expected.
As a final question, and not trying to be rude with this, but with all these extra complications (robots.txt being configured correctly, having to use twitter vs. og meta tags, caching of robots.txt, can’t read meta tags dynamically loaded via javascript, can’t read sites on localhost, etc., etc., etc.), why don’t Twitter and other social networks simply give developers a url to post to?:
https://twitter.com/share.php?image=https://site.com/images/my-image.jpg&title=My%20title%20goes%20here&description=my%20description%20is%20really%20awesome.
Wouldn’t that be so much easier?
