No Featured Image Appearing on Mastodon

  • I am a user of mastodon auto post. I am experiencing the issue of WordPress post images not being carried over to mastodon by mastodon Autopost plug-in.

    Is this by design?

    If not, is there a resolution to this issue?

    The visual of an attractive image drives social engagement, and it would be a nice function of mastodon auto post to include a WordPress post’s featured image or first image in a post.

    Thank you for your development of Mastodon Autopost.

  • I’ve been having the same problem: My posts are sent to my Mastodon account, but the featured image doesn’t always appear. I think I may have figured out why.

    When I publish a post with the scheduler, the featured image doesn’t get sent to Mastodon. However, when I publish the image immediately, the image does appear on Mastodon.

    @xizor , how are your posts being published? Scheduled or immediate?

    @mbrailer ,

    I am publishing posts immediately when failing to see images accompanying my posts. ActivityPub sends images to my WordPress Instance Account ; Mastodon Autopost does not send images to my linked personal account.

    I’ve methodically examined the results for images with these origins:

    • Media Library > Existing Image as featured image > No image attached to post.
    • Featured Image > Upload Image > No image attached to post.

    I wish the Mastodon Autopost simply had an Advanced Settings > [image] shortcode to insert into the final post format.
