Hi,
I have noticed that ever since i am using the newspaper them, it doesn’t show thumbnail of post while sharing through WhatsApp. Would you tell me what may have gone wrong. My URL is http://www.morenews.pk

With WhatsApp, you have to wait a few seconds before posting the link to enable it to pick up the open graph tags.

Hi,
When i use the mobile browser’s share button option from the menue to share something and then pick whatsapp app from the list of app, the thumbnail appears after few seconds. But if i directly click on the WhatsApp button to share from the post share bar, the thumb never appear.

Hi,

I have tried sharing a post from your website on whatsapp, from a mobile phone

There is a thumbnail displayed from what I can see.

Simion, what is that big white space below between the article title when a link is shared on WhatsApp and the link and is there a way to reduce it?

A Whatsapp share looks like this for me

There is a space between the title and actual link, but I don’t know how you could edit how the share is displayed on mobile visually, through the theme.

The space started showing up bigger than usual as screeshot by @mjehangir after update 8.7. Will try to figure out what the issue is, but you can assist if you find anything.

@mjehangir I saw the blank space disappears after posting the link.
