This is the current twitter card data I have inside <head>
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@tradukka">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Currency exchange: United States Dollar (USD) - Argentine Peso (ARS)">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Currencies exchange updated in real time: United States Dollar (USD) - Argentine Peso (ARS) / 1 USD...">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://tradukka.com/meta/359ac65be829e896c12a3126fa9c71d0.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:image:width" content="750">
<meta name="twitter:image:height" content="370">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="http://tradukka.com/currency/usd/ars">
If I send a tweet with that link, all the information is being shown in the tweet, except the image:
I also tried using the card validator:
…it fetches everything except the image.
Also, I already tried using twitter:image:src as well. The domain is whitelisted. Any ideas on why the image is not being displayed inside the tweet?
Yes, the robots.txt file for the domain where that image is hosted is preventing access to the /meta/ directory where the image is located.
Additionally, you’ll want to be aware of the 7 day cache life for cards data - if you’re trying to make this a “real time” image that gets updated, that is unlikely to work, unless the URL is always unique.
More information on the Cards Troubleshooting page on both of these issues.
Hi Andy, thanks for the reply. I just updated the robots.txt file, and tried a new url with the card validator: 🇷🇴 Convert United States Dollar (USD) to Romanian Leu (RON) | Tradukka . That URL is using this unique twitter:image url http://tradukka.com/meta/423ee685644743bfc3ae2a0eb59b62ed.jpg but i’m still getting this response:
Do you know if Twitter has a cache for the robots.txt file as well? Or could it be something else I might be missing?
ps: just to be sure, I also purged the robots.txt file in cloudflare
Just tried validating this, and the image seems to be showing now. Maybe took a little while for any CDN caches to expire? anyway, seems like you’re all set from here.
Yes, it’s working now. Thanks for your help!
