    What is the URL you are using for this?

    The API used to automatically retrieve the title, summary and image will not work for every site. If there’s a problem you can always manually set those details in the sidebar when editing the block.

    After adding some links in the post, somewhere around 30 to 40, it starts generating this message “Set content for this link in the sidebar.” in the print the link appears normally on the right side, but it does not pull the link information. This happens on any computer used or mobile devices, after a number of links added, it generates the message.

    I think I need to say that I’m using 1 post to hold more than 30 links inside, I don’t know if this is somehow overloading the API and causing the error.

    That is normal, actually. We make use of the MicroLink API for this functionality: https://microlink.io

    Their free plan has a limited number of requests per day. If you need more it’s possible to purchase an API key from them (we are not affiliated in any way) and add that on the Settings > Visual Link Preview page to avoid hitting that limit.
