Bad formatting and missing image when post published

I’ve just shared a first post through the plugin, however, the LinkedIn post that was created is formatted weirdly. I’d like to know if these are just limitations in your free plugin, which requires upgrading to the paid plugin in order to resolve. These are the issues:
1. The WP post’s featured image is not published with the LinkedIn post.
2. Where a new paragraph appears in the WP post, the LinkedIn post has several empty lines before the paragraph.
Here is the WP post: https://dataroadmaps.infinitemonkeys.ca/team-sport/ and here is how it looks once published to LinkedIn: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xghn3blsmjpx8q56odzep/CleanShot-2025-04-24-at-21.49.23.jpg?rlkey=e85ptjo7vtjgqzcv1z2tdbovf&dl=0

Hi @deralict,

How was the post created, like was it created using the classic editor, Gutenberg or something else?

I noticed the post you mentioned has a 403 error: https://dataroadmaps.infinitemonkeys.ca/team-sport/ are your images and pages password protected? This might cause an issue with LinkedIn crawling the site.

Thanks,

The post was created in Gutenberg.

The 403 error is probably because in the site was moved to production in the time since I discovered this bug. (Your auto-publish plugin is currently disabled). New URL is https://dataroadmaps.com/team-sport/

Hi @deralict,

You mentioned that the featured image was missing from the LinkedIn post, however the screenshot you shared seems to show the thumbnail: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xghn3blsmjpx8q56odzep/CleanShot-2025-04-24-at-21.49.23.jpg?rlkey=e85ptjo7vtjgqzcv1z2tdbovf&e=1&dl=0

With the line spacing, I am going to release an update in the next few minutes which will resolve the double line spacing in Gutenberg. Thanks for reporting that issue.

There’s a small image associated with the link to the original article…I was expecting the featured image to be part of the LinkedIn post itself. Is this not possible?

Hi @deralict,

It may be possible – I haven’t fully explored the option, but it’s not part of our current feature set of the plugin. I think though when sharing a link preview it wasn’t possible to share an image in addition to this.

Thanks
