Hi, I recently bought the plugin and found it to be amazing. I have one question though, Images returns a list of images. How do I extract the meta-image only? Right now I pick up the wrong images with some websites. Thanks in advance.
So basically I have a link sharing website. When user adds a link, I use linkpreview to get the title/description and image. For most websites LinkPreview works fine but for others it doesn’t. If you use the plugin on this website, for example:
The image that you end up getting is a user’s profile picture but not the meta-image which should not be the case. For pages with multiple images, there needs to be some sort of a filter which picks out the meta image for that webpage. You can test this out using the sharing debugger tool.
To sum it up, using linkpreview I’m getting the wrong images for links. The request is to add a filter so that for pages with multiple images, the meta-image can be extracted. The meta image for a link appears as <og:image > in the html tags.
Let us check this out while we’re working on the update. It’ll take some time, since there are a few tickets in progress. So please bear with us here, thanks for understanding.
Thanks for patience and the feedback provided.

Unfortunately, this still does not solve the problem. Try this link, you won’t get an image.
But if you look here then you’ll see an image. Image to Show is basically the same as List of Images. Previously, what I did was I had a simple condition where if the list of images count was > 1 then the second picture would automatically be taken. The only issue is you’re not able to extract the meta image, an image that may not be displaying on the website. Like the Quora example.
I see that some meta-images are not displayed using the plugin and understand the issue in place which creates this, however this seems a limitation of API the plugin uses to reach out in some cases meta-image.
Sorry for that, at the moment nothing we can do about it.
Thanks for understanding.
Hi, I would like to use this plugin just for data calls to style my own link previews but it currently does not offer that option. The plugin element also cannot be resized even when just used to get data.
I need to get url meta data for recursive api wf (from plugin data call)
Can you add this please then I will subscribe/purchase. Thanks
Thanks for the provided feedback, we’ll need to check this if feasible.
So you know, at the moment it’s not a priority to add features, however we’ll update on the matter asap.
Thanks.
@Taiheta , due to library design used in plugin, the link preview element can not be resized.
Thanks for understanding.
Please check the latest version of plugin for the update. If any issues appear with, do not hesitate to post them here with @zeroqode mention.
Thanks for support and understanding.
Hello, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the late reply
This state returns the value “yes” if the link, you’ve indicated in the plugin element, has no spelling/symbol/spacing/ issues in it and is syntactically correct. A syntactically correct URL can lead to a page that (after we try to get it) returns 404.
The “no” value will be returned if your Link URL has some spelling errors.
For example: if you have a space in your Link URL parameter (plugin element), the Valid URL state will return the “no” value:
We have pushed a plugin update, that has fixed the issue related to the previously used library (no preview available).
To check changes, please upgrade your plugin to the latest version (Version 1.8.0: Fixed CORS error. ) and give it a try.
Hope it helps. If any other plugin-related questions will appear, please let us know, we will be glad to help
