Buddypress update link for article doesn’t show headline/photo, only shows link URL

[palicali]

Hi –

I am testing my Buddypress in preparation for launch and find that when I post an update by pasting an article link into the update, it only shows the URL – it doesn’t display the article headline or photo, which is what I would expect it would show, like Facebook does. Is there a setting I need to change?

See example: https://republicofgreen.com/social-network/groups/puppy-mills/

Thanks very much!

Hi, Thanks for contacting us about URL previews. BuddyPress inherits WordPress' ability to embed other WordPress sites and that works be default in all activity types. You will need to install a third party plugin to embed URL previews for sites that are not WordPress based and do not already have an oEmbed integration in WordPress. As you're already using rtMedia you may wish to consider their add-on which caters to this specific requirement. You can find out more about rtMedia Activity URL Preview by going to https://rtmedia.io/products/rtmedia-activity-url-preview/. Thanks, Kieran
