Q&A: Why isn’t LinkedIn including a photo when I share my blog posts?

Posted on

Question from Gwendolyn:  I write a WordPress blog where I talk about women’s issues and I always update LinkedIn with the URL to every post I write.

I’ve been doing this for over two years and LinkedIn has always displayed a photo from the post along with the title and text snippet, but lately it’s been omitting the photo about half the time.
