head_tags - LBC - 05-17-2019
Hi,
I'm having difficulty with showing my company logo in a shared link (Whatsapp).
I have filled in the head_tag in usersc/includes and also put a link to my logo in there.
But when I share the link everything shows up but the logo. Any idea what is going wrong there?

Anyone any ideas?

I know once that stuff gets cached on whatsapp/fb side, it's sometimes hard to get out. Is there anything you can clear over there?
RE: head_tags - LBC - 05-19-2019
I cleared the WhatsApp cache...its still not displaying the picture.
Can it be the way I linked to it? I used the URL (https://www.sitename.com/picturename).

RE: head_tags - LBC - 05-20-2019
Hah! So it all hinged on the image being less than 300KB?
Wow, thanks for that info Mudmin. It worked
Perhaps you should add that bit of info in the head_tags.php on the next update.
