Flipboard isn't fetching the post image from one of my websites, while the other is working perfectly on it. I am also attaching the image for you to see.
This happened due to WebP, I contacted Flipboard, their customer service confirmed that their platform doesn't support WebP that's why the thumbnails of posts with WebP featured image will not be processed.

When sharing an article hosted on LinkedIn, the og:image URL expires after a certain time (I think 24 hours). Is there a direct URL to call in order to get an always up-to-date og:image?
For an internal work resource, I pull og:image to use as featured images for a site built on Wordpress that links out to the LinkedIn URL.
To quote the official documentation, LinkedIn.com: How to clear Linkedin link preview cache?...
After updating your website with perfect preview content and image, if you try sharing your website link you will still see old preview content and image. That's because LinkedIn caches link preview content for 7 days.
So, if you mean the image is expiring in that the cache isn't being updated, then that would be your problem.
You can clear the cache easily: Use the LinkedIn Post Inspector. Inspect your site with the LinkedIn Post Inspector. This causes LinkedIn to refresh your share URL's preview. It also provides useful information on how your site is rendered.
If you want to check, to verify, that it is a caching problem, then try this: share example.com?test=1 instead of example.com on LinkedIn. Since the URL is technically different, there'll be a cache miss, and LinkedIn will have to generate a fresh preview. This will at least confirm if it is a caching problem.
I avoided using the UGC API on my recent migration to v2 of the LinkedIn API because this page of the docs (dated 2/4/2019, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/marketing/integrations/community-management/shares/ugc-post-api) suggests that the UGC is an "upcoming" API, only available for uploading videos, but not retrieving them (e.g. "UGC Post is currently best suited for creating and fetching video posts" and "Use the UGC Post API to create video content for organic posts and video ads. More functionality will be soon be added to the UGC Post API. As of now, you cannot retrieve the actual video content of a video post. This feature will be available soon.").
However, I just found this (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin?context=linkedin/marketing/context#creating-a-share-on-linkedin) page, which talks about Sharing on LinkedIn, and seems to suggest using the UGC endpoint to upload text posts, article shares, and images.
Does anyone have a clear picture of what it is ready and not ready to go? I don't want to build out our app to use endpoints that are available only for testing, etc. I would like to know that LinkedIn officially supports the APIs that I am using in my app. I know LinkedIn monitors SO and touts it as part of their official mechanism for support, so I am posting this here.
At any rate, it might be a good idea to bring these two pages into alignment to prevent confusion like this.

EDIT: Noticed today that the link to the UGC docs is now time-stamped 4/10/2019. Not immediately clear to me what the changes between 2/4 and 4/10 are.
We use LinkedIn V2 UGC API to post articles, images etc. and it works fine. However, uploading video results in an error that we do not have permission. I am not sure if there is any special permission that is needed even when we can post images fine.
We use UGC API (V2).Here is documentation for reference https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin?context=linkedin/marketing/context#creating-a-share-on-linkedin
Video upload end point is not yet released. if you access that it will return permission required response.
(Using Wordpress plugins and Vimeo API)
I have had a bespoke Wordpress plugin built and am struggling now with one capability.
I have paid for a Pro Vimeo account so that I have better privacy options, but I need to have the videos viewable and most importantly DOWNLOADABLE on my client's website.
I am sure this was possible before, but after three software developers have tried and mostly not managed to complete my job briefs, I am left pretty desperately on how to finish this key functionality.
When I try to download the videos straight from the website, it won't let me and takes me to a blank page. The only way to fix it is to make my Vimeo profile and videos public on Vimeo however, it is vital that they are private on there.
I would be SO GRATEFUL if someone could help me.
You need to use the API to retrieve file download links for your videos.
Make an authenticated request to https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id] using a token with the video_files scope. In the response is an array "download" that will contain video file metadata, including download links, and the expiration time of those links.
Recently started using Google Cloud platform bucket to store all my wordpress images. As many of you know wordpress creates many thumbnails from the original image that was uploaded.
I have been able to link the image from the google bucket to wordpress. But from time to time I update the image. I thought it would have automatically updated the thumbnails as well. But this is not the case.
Scenario - I upload main image into wordpress media library. It creates two other images plus original eg Image.jpg; Image-510x383.jpg; Image-115x85.jpg
Only the Image.jpg is visible in the Google Bucket. Should I reupload the image with a change using gsutil. The main full scale image changes on wordpress live site but the thumbnails remain the old versions.
How do you find were these thumbnailed images are in Google bucket so I can resync them easily as well.
Thanks for any assistance.
Check out the WP-Stateless plugin - it's free. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-stateless/
It will manage the process of uploading your images and other files (PDFs, MP3s, etc) to Google Cloud Storage, including all the thumbnails WordPress generates. It supports several modes, including a mode that will delete the local file since it is no longer needed.
I am from Envira Gallery WordPress plugin support team, we are using Vimeo API to insert video and placeholder images into WP site. When we try inserting a video through URL (e.g. vimeo.com/155774137) it gives this error:
Video #1 Image Error: A valid URL was not provided.
Screenshot here: http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0iiBe-gSuqaVTB2QkVqbW1sWWM/view?usp=sharing
This issue occurs on my localhost (XAMPP) installation and few customers.
Where as it works fine for our 2 developers installaitons and few customers.
Anyone knows where to look at to resolve this issue? It feels like its coming from Vimeo API. My knowledge for Vimeo API is very limited so need help.
Thank you so much
