OG Image on Twitter from CMS

Hi there,

Im trying to post one of my blogs to twitter however it does not display the preview image, description etc when posting. Each blog image is pulled from the CMS. I figured out how to do this by putting in the actual link however not from the CMS. The preview image + description displays on Facebook, however on Twitter and also Slack nothing appears.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Check your site URL her for errors:
https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator

And her you find troubleshooting guide:

Anyway, its hard to help you without a live URL.

You could add meta data

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />

Or for example:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

More types of cards her:

Hi, that’s perfect that has worked for Twitter now, unfortunately I can’t get it working for slack. Is there additional code for this to work on there?

Under your homepage for example og:image og:title og:: description is missing.

Slack use OG (No special syntax related to slack / Whatsapp and so on for basic og data).
