    Good Afternoon,

    I have added an OG protocol plugin and I see all required tags and am still not having luck getting the link to display properly on LinkedIn. Facebook works just fine. I also have Yoast SEO and have disabled all OG meta data so there was no conflict..

    “Cannot display preview. You can post as is, or try another link.”

    I have looked through the forums but cannot find a solution.

    Thoughts?

    Hey Jeff,

    I’m not understanding the issue. Are you saying that your site is not displaying on the LinkedIn side of things?

    Best regards,

    Hey Jordan,

    That’s correct. If you try to post a link to our website on LinkedIn it does not give you a preview with the link. It remains text. Troubleshooting in LinkedIn led me to my website having OG protocol issues.

    Hi,

    Have you presented the issue to the plugin devs?

    Best regards,

    The plugin was in hopes to fix whatever was stopping enfold in the first place. And since that didn’t help I am back to square 1.

    Hi,

    Did you try to inspect your website with the linkedin inspector: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/ – do you get any errors?

    Best regards,

    Hey Dude! Here is what I get…

    “Error We encountered a server error while trying to inspect the URL.”

    Something is blocking?

    Hey!
    Please deactivate all plugins (except the og meta plugin) and check your website again. If this doesn’t help please talk to the server administrator / host and ask if Linkedin is blocked on your server. I tried my website (which also runs Enfold and Yoast SEO) and the inspector could read all og meta values (see link in private data).

    Cheers!
    Peter
