Posting to X no longer links to article

  • As of a few weeks ago, our auto-posts to Twitter/X using Nelio Content are no longer creating an “article” link previewed in the tweet and are merely posting the featured image, plus the text (see here for example). The permalink is still in the post but is not automatically generating an article as it would if we just posted directly on X.

    The issue described is likely related to changes in how Twitter/X handles link previews. Twitter/X may no longer generate “article” previews with a clickable title and meta description for shared links. Instead, it may only show the text and featured image (or thumbnail) alongside the link.

    This change is not specific to Nelio Content but is due to Twitter/X’s updated platform policies and link-sharing behavior. The platform may no longer automatically generate article cards with rich previews unless specific criteria are met or through paid partnerships (e.g., Twitter Ads).

    I can confirm that for the tweet you indicated, we only shared the following content: “Alex writes about the busy day of rap releases from earlier this month.\n\nhttps://thepostrider.com/we-saw-the-entire-spectrum-of-hip-hop-on-november-1st/”.

    Therefore, it is up to Twitter/X to decide how they show your tweets to the audience. I understand your frustration with this (that we share), but there’s nothing we can do to change it.
