In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Links constantly marked broken that are notBy the way, I also just checked with my host provider and they assured me that PHP cURL is up and running just fine. Problem seems to be on your end, perhaps, then. It’s required a fair amount of time to verify each ‘broken’ link when it turns out they are not. I love the plug-in otherwise, hopefully this can be fixed soon? thank you.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Links constantly marked broken that are notI am having the very same problem that @sunflowermom is having. I have checked all the links that say they are broken, and they work. I even today clicked on the link in the email notification and it worked.
Can you check a few links for me please?
These are ones that I received notice today that were broken but are not:I don’t know anything about PHP cURL but I will check with my hosting provider, which happens to be Siteground. They are usually really ‘up to date’. Thanks
thanks, so do I have to pay an annual subscription membership then just to get the NextGen Gallery updates, if I understand you correctly?I am not using your themes anymore, just the plug-in.
Actually I just read your FAQs and I see that I can use them with my WordPress based site. I am using Divi Builder, and today was notified that my website is showing all this code everywhere but only a smartphone, not my tablet or desktop. Because some of it showing is related to the galleries, I am writing here to ask if you know why this is happening. Check out http://www.brendatharp.com/ on a smartphone and see what you think, please. I just need to know who to turn to for help. I am asking Elegant Themes as well, but not getting anywhere fast with resolving this issue.

In reply to: How to change meta description in url linewhen I type in http://www.brendatharp.com, the browser adds a dash and then this line that says “California outdoor photographer; travel; nature; landscape;…..” (sorry I thought originally it said nature photographer but it says outdoor photographer). it’s not the tag line I have set up in my WordPress settings. So I can’t figure out where that comes from in order to change it. In Safari’s Top Hits it shows that full line as well after brendatharp.com.
Thank you Wfalaa, I will try that and see whether I get the issue again. It may take a few days to determine this as it has been intermittent, but I’ll let you know what I find out!
THANKS, I did that after I wrote this. Realized it should have gone there, first!

In reply to: [WP Author Bio] Author Gravatar is missing – againI should note here that it was fine before I installed this sexy author plug-in…
Strange. My image in my blog post is 620 x 413 or so pixels at 100 dpi so that is large enough. I will have to check on what my wordpress dashboard is sizing the featured image to if I can even see that. But I don’t think there’s any other way to set the featured image size…I know that when I used featured images with other blog sharing apps it worked with Facebook, so this is puzzling. I’ll check it out though and publish a new blog post later today.
So even though the newly published post was retracted (changed back to draft status in WP dashboard and updated), and deleted off Facebook, Jetpack still knows that when I publish it again it’s already been published…something to remember!
Thank you.
OK here’s an update. I have my Google + account connection working fine. But my FB connection was not posting my featured image, only a silhouette of a head/shoulders; I had a default image set too, but it didn’t take that as the default. I have since removed the default image just in process of testing things so you won’t see one there. But why is FB not using my featured image? I even tried the next choice “first attached image” but I’m not sure if images are attached automatically to posts…either way that didn’t work.
I deleted the FB post because it looked stupid, and thought ‘well I’ll just copy the permalink URL for the post and paste it to FB but I STILL get just that computer head/shoulders picture, although it shows my blog title and description fine…
Looking forward to your great assistance with this one teeny issue! Thanks.
Aaagh. I’m in deeper than I can handle, perhaps. It seemed so simple and I’m sure it was working once, a while back, but apparently not since reading the above info.
I went to All in One SEO Feature Manager, and the nSocial Meta, and I set up the tags in there as best as I could. I left Autogenerate OG Descriptions turned on; I selected “Use AIOSEO Title and Description; I typed in my site name, put in a url for a home page image (don’t know why I needed that but did it anyway). In Image Settings I chose Featured Image; I entered my Facebook Profile Admins ID, and set my FB object type to Website; left all the other tags below that checked (they were by default); set a twitter card, and saved options.
I published my post – but it showed with a default image (a blank avatar type thing). so I quickly deleted the post on FB. I went back in and set the default image below featured image, although I don’t know why it didn’t take the featured image. I have unpublished and republished my post three times now, and even with the OG tags all set, I can’t get it to post to FB. It’s also not publishing to Twitter now. Maybe because the ‘system’ knows that I had published the post once and it won’t take the feed again? I’m going to give this a rest overnight and try again in the morning but something is wrong.
Related, but a bit confusing, I tried to disconnect Google Plus account and when I went to reconnect to Google plus, and I accept the ‘offline access’, I get an error message that has a url that is wrong. As a bit of history to this, I had mistakenly changed my WordPress URL in General setting in my dashboard, and had to fix that in the SQL database; got everything working right, website displays fine, but JetPack Publicize is still trying to access that wrong url. Clearing caches hasn’t worked. Should I just start over and deactivate the plug-in and begin again? I can’t figure out how to clear the ‘old’ stuff out.
I am desperate as I’m leaving on a 5 week journey and wanted to have this all posting properly for me while on the road. any help to get this working would be SO much appreciated. tx
Thank you I just did what you said, and will post a blog tonight or tomorrow and see what happens. I’m not sure about all the fields I need to fill out in the SEO features or the Social Meta area of SEO, but I will look at that more deeply, too.
Sure – it’s http://www.brendatharp.com/blog

In reply to: Finding what posts are missing pictures and more…THANKS! The link from Jack Randall worked – although I have a few hundred broken links that I’ve found, I’m able to fix them over the next few days and have a cleaned up site. Many thanks to you both for your ideas.
