Twitter to Facebook page
« on: March 12, 2017, 01:18:20 PM »
I am using Ken's TweetWX script. My weather tweets look great, however, there is a problem. I use Twitter to send my tweets to my Facebook page. On Facebook, there is an image of the EC radar from my website that I do not want displayed, I just want the text displayed. Is there a way to prevent the image from showing?

I think it's because you have an URL to your website .. the Twitter->facebook software tends to grab the first image found (thinking it's a blog/news post image) and inserts it in the facebook post.  That would likely be a setting on the twitter->facebook bridge software.  My TweetWX script only does the text at present.

Thanks Ken. I was thinking that, I'll just remove the url then.
