Book Preview not displaying with any links

    I just started using MyBookTable yesterday. I love it, except for one thing. Anytime I link to mybooktable on any external site (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc…), no preview image of my book shows up – even if I click on the “share” button from within the MyBookTable page on my site. The box where the picture should be is blank. On my site it is working great. It is only when I copy and paste the link to the mybooktable page on my site that no preview shows up. For this reason, I am not using it right now and instead directing people right to Amazon because it shows a preview photo of the book.

    This might be a bug and could be specific to your site. Could you add the book cover at the very bottom of the post as a regular photo. After that does it work?

    Hi Jamie,

    Thanks for pointing this out to us. This is happening because you are using Jetpack which we do not yet officially support compatibility with yet. You are having these issues because MyBookTable tries to create Facebook meta tags AND Jetpack tries to create Facebook meta tags, causing Facebook to become confused when it sees both of them. Hopefully we will add more complete support for Jetpack at some point in the future, but for now you should be able to address this by going into the MyBookTable settings tab and unchecking the “Enable SEO” checkbox to turn off MyBookTable’s Facebook meta tags. I cannot guarantee that this will give you all the Facebook features you want as I do not know how complete Jetpack’s Facebook integration is, but it is one way to stop them conflicting. You can also simply disable Jetpack if you value MyBookTable’s Facebook integration more than the features you are using from it.
