Image not coming through when sharing through social media
I have a share link on my posts and I expect that when a user goes to click on say share through linkedIn, it opens up a new window in LinkedIn, with the post and the ability to share it. However, the image is not showing in the post. I can verify that I do have the image in Umbraco and my cshtml looks something like
@HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host is Localhost and
is
"/media/9363/bizprocredesigncol1165880125171999x614.png?anchor=center&mode=crop&rnd=131316469810000000"
yet my image still does not appear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You can use something like ngrok to allow temporary external access to your local machine.
