X sharing not working

Note: X recently announced that they removed the image preview from the X Card validator. More information can be found here

There are a number of reasons that sharing on X fails to display correctly. X’s card validator will provide you with a lot of information that might help narrow down the issue.

Go to X’s card validator
Log in, if requested.
Enter the URL you wish to check
Click Preview card
A preview is displayed under Card preview.

X shows the wrong title, description, or image

The most common cause for X using the wrong image is wrong or multiple X meta tags. Please view the source code for the page.

Multiple sets of X meta tags

If the source code has multiple sets of X meta tags, another plugin or theme feature is set up to create tags. If you are unsure what outputs the additional tags, a conflict check can help.

One set of X meta tags

If the source code has one set of X meta tags and the tags have the correct information but X doesn’t use it, the URL was likely shared recently. Your content is cached by X for 7 days after a link to your page with card markup has been published in a tweet.

If the source code has one set of X meta tags and the tags have the wrong information, please check that custom tags have been set correctly.
