Broken Social Media Shares #7729

Closed klin2020 closed 3 weeks ago

klin2020 commented 3 weeks ago

Summary

Social media links used to share content on DG were broken. When a share link was selected, users are either met with an error page or a share link that did not produce a preview card (previews the post that you wish to share, which is an indication that the link that you are sharing works).

Note: current status of PR reflects solution on local host testing, NOT cloud.pages

Preview

NOTE: Social media share links are still broken on cloud.pages Link to Preview

Solution

  1. Updated social media links to reflect updated share path
  2. Updated URL path to a relative URL, which appears to have fixed the blog share link when testing on localhost NOTE: Social media share links are still broken on cloud.pages

How To Test

Select share social media links on any "News and Updates" post created by DG. If testing locally, selecting any social media link should result in a successful social media preview link. Cannot test on cloud.pages
