Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 08:08:53 CEST Hiker @mmn @manuel I got it now. Only the image which is added in a blog post in Wordpress as "featured image" is displayed when inserted as a the link in #gnusocial.
This one worked https://social.bitcast.info/url/57796
But I don't understand why this is solved in this way. I never use "featured image" because this is very inflexible - you can't place and edit the picture. I am using the function to add a picture in the editor into the post.- Manuel Ortega likes this.

Manuel Ortega (manuel)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:07:34 CEST Manuel Ortega @hikerus Great! I think "featured image" is like a standard to represent the contents, mood, or theme of a post or page, at least on #WordPress

Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:11:57 CEST Hiker @manuel Perhaps - but this doesn't explain why GS displays only this "featured image" in the WP post (if present) but not a "normal" image edited with media in the editor in Wordpress. @mmn -
Manuel Ortega (manuel)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:37:39 CEST Manuel Ortega @hikerus What GNU social does is to embed stuff when link endpoints have oEmbed, OpenGraph or are direct image links
And we, on WordPress, are exposing only the featured image through oEmbed. This is why GS is displaying only the "featured image"

Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:47:52 CEST Hiker @manuel And there is no way to change this in Wordpress? @mmn -
Manuel Ortega (manuel)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:52:44 CEST Manuel Ortega @hikerus Yes, rewriting or developing a new plugin. This is the actual version of the plugin that we hacked and which is integrate into !wpgnusocial https://lasindias.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/plugin-oembed.txt

Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 09:56:58 CEST Hiker @manuel Oh, we are at the beginning of your discussion now ;-) I **have** installed wpgnusocial - but only the featured image is displayed, not the image in the post which is added in the post editor. @mmn -
Manuel Ortega (manuel)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:04:12 CEST Manuel Ortega @hikerus Yes, I know you have it installed and the thing is that this the way, exposing only the featured image, how it works now, how to change it? This component of the plugin should be rewritten -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:07:54 CEST Hiker @manuel Oh I see - for now it is only displaying the featured image. But if I check the html code the "og" meta tags are there of the image - but GS doesn't display them. Must be a problem in these meta tags... -
mmn (mmn)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:17:46 CEST mmn @hikerus Make wordpress act the way you prefer then. We present the featured image because that is what gets linked explicitly to represent the post. We don't crawl through the post looking for <img> tags. -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:20:35 CEST Hiker @manuel I think you should ask @mmn which og meta tags are necessary to display name, address, some content and image of such a link. Seems to me that your plugin doesn't add enough information when it isn't the feature image. -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:22:55 CEST Hiker @mmn Yes I see - but the og meta tags are there for other than feature image are in the header of the post. How can you distinguish between featured image and image in the post? -
mmn (mmn)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:26:54 CEST mmn @hikerus Have you linked a relevant WordPress post yet that I can look at? Conversation view in Mustard isn't top notch. -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:41:30 CEST Hiker @mmn Meta tags og are there https://social.bitcast.info/url/57831 -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 10:57:49 CEST Hiker @mmn This is an other one - og image meta tag is in the header of the post for the image in the blog text. https://social.bitcast.info/url/57844 -
mmn (mmn)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 11:22:39 CEST mmn @hikerus We prioritise oEmbed over OpenGraph and there is no image available there: https://social.umeahackerspace.se/url/69800 -
Hiker (hikerus)'s status on Monday, 02-May-2016 11:31:02 CEST Hiker @mmn Please try with this one https://social.bitcast.info/url/57844 And I see all og meta tags in the header of the post. https://social.bitcast.info/url/57857
