Question
My staging site: http://aaronkine.staging.wpengine.com/
Where is the Excerpt for these links? I am using Buddypress Activity Plus on another site and it shows the Excerpt for all these links. It also uses the Correct Image Preview instead of a cropped version (once posted to Activity Stream)

• http://mashable.com/2015/10/13/free-online-classes/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link#d1vSt9Q8GuqF
• http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-katovich/invest-in-who-you-know-pa_b_9294246.htmlAnother issue:
These links DO show the excerpt but there are some weird numbers showing up at the beginning of the Excerpt.
(just figured out what these wierd numbers are… its grabbing the Social Numbers from the Social Icon Buttons just above the Article [Facebook 291, Google+ 51, Linkdn 421, Pinterest 100] )

Hi @aaronkine
It depends upon the site, if they have not set proper meta descriptionview-source:http://www.nptechforgood.com/2016/01/27/11-must-know-stats-about-how-ngos-worldwide-use-internet-technology/

Description : –You can check for it, they have not set general meta description. Facebook specific property=”og:description” is set there.

Varun DubeyOk understand, but how come this other plugin can grab the excerpt? Buddypress Activity Plus.
Also, when i paste this link it lets me choose an image (i chose #1 Butterfly) but when i hit POST theres NO image??
Hi @aaronkine
It depends upon their logic, We are using meta values and which is most common for all site.
It might be possible they are using first image apprach from body part.Regards
