Twitter card doesn't show up in preview

anil_n · 2012-11-06T11:05:12.000Z

Hi,

i did a round of check in twitter cards preview while implementing and found a weird issue. This is the 1st set of meta tags which i tested and no twitter cards were displayed:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@anil_n">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="http://something.test.com/">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Anil">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Test123">

But when i changed the meta tags to the below set, twitter cards were displayed.

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@anil_n">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="http://something.test.com/t=123456789012345678901234567891234567890123456789012345678901234">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Test">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.">

Seems like it is expecting a long URL as well as a long description and also when i tested for image i got the following error:

Failed to get proxied image URL.

Kindly look into the issue and let me know as soon as possible.

Do i need to get approval before checking in preview?

After quite a while trying to get the “card preview” page to work, I found that it won’t render the card preview unless the twitter:title value contains a “’” character. Note that this is not the apostrophe(’) or the backtick (`) character. It’s a “right single quotation mark”, unicode #8217.

This is strange. I’m able to get the card to display only if my description contains 110 chars or more.

What’s even stranger is that the method from @reywood works.

It seems to work if I put an alt code in the title. so I tried Alt+255 for a space character and it previews. Otherwise it doesn’t preview… I really want to apply for approval, cause I feel like on my end its working, and that this is something with card debug tool! But I don’t want to apply and get rejected because of something like this.

I had made all possible for readers of the questions supply fresh
information for twitter. At any a case I had used automatically and
any was writing my are the articles become possession of customers.

I can’t get my card to work… My domain is approved according to the card validator…

We have the same issue with twitter cards for example: the url http://www.papershare.com/paper/optimizing-web-infrastructure-on-intel-architecture validates; however, does not show as a twitter card on twitter.

This is ridiculous, is been unsolved for a really long time

RashidAslam5 · 2014-07-10T10:43:18.000Z

Same problem here. This is really troublesome. @Twitter, please update docs or fix validator.

I Have a similar Issue, If I Manually Copy / Paste a URL from my store to Twitter and tweet it, Picture and card is displayed - However if i click “tweet this” using the social sharing buttons I have under my products, directly from my website the Twitter card doesn’t seem to work - Any Ideas what I need to do? I am complete novice too with HTML. … Thanks
