Autoposting to Tumblr not pulling through images from posts?

[TheCraggus]

Autoposting to Tumblr doesn't pull through featured images from posts and there are no options within the settings to choose an image post. Is this a bug or is this just the way it is?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please be so kind as to send me a link to your WordPress post as well as to your post on Tumblr so I can check this for you.

Looking forward to your reply.

All posts are published with a feature image and at least one image within the body text.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

When trying to share your post on Tumblr, the image was displayed properly. I have attached a screenshot for you.
Is it possible to explain to me a little more in detail how you proceed when sharing your posts on Tumblr?

In addition, I noticed that there are a lot of posts which contain images on your Tumblr account.
Did you share them with Blog2Social or manually / without Blog2Social?

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Best regards

I'm not sure what you need to know here. "How I proceed when sharing your posts on Tumblr"? I've connected my Tumblr account to Blog2Social and set my preferences for how the post should appear. The odd thing is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For example, the following posts worked fine:

yet my two posts today (I didn't change any of the publishing process) haven't worked:

The vast majority of previous auto-posts to Tumblr were done via Jetpack which never caused me any problems.

The performance of Blog2Social on Tumblr since I started using it a month ago has been incredibly patchy and unreliable but there doesn't seem to be any obvious cause.

Hello TheCraggus ,

Thank you for the additional information.

To better understand the issue, could you clarify how you're posting? For example, do you share your posts on Tumblr immediately after publishing them on your site? If so, I recommend adjusting your auto-post settings to include a delay of about 5 minutes. This ensures that the article is fully accessible and published before Blog2Social attempts to share it.

Please let us know if this adjustment resolves the issue.

Additionally, we’ve added your request for image options in the post templates for Tumblr to our feature requests list.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
Philippe

Thanks - I'll adjust the timings as you suggest and let you know if that resolves the issue.
