Why can't I post links to my podcast on Facebook?

by Joe Howard

Website: https://wpmrr.com/podcast/

When our team tries to post links to our podcast in our Facebook group (and others), we get the message:

Your post couldn't be shared, because this link goes against our Community Standards.

We've submitted to FB a few times that it doesn't but we still can't post.

We're trying to figure out if it's an issue with the podcast or some aspect of the website that's causing the community standards issue.

If you have any ideas, I'd love to chat! :)

    This is really strange. I even tried running it through the Facebook Link Preview Debugger and got that error. It looks like that tool does have a way for you to submit your link for review. I would recommend trying that out and see if they can fix it.

      Thanks, @schoon!

      Haha just tried this and got the message in the debugger: We can't review this website because the content doesn't meet our Community Standards. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know.

      We've submitted a few tickets about this already and they haven't done anything about it :(

        Hey Joe perhaps Plink (plinkhq.com) smart podcast links will be your alternative ;-) podcasters sharing Plink on social all day!
