On my self-hosted WordPress site running 4.9.6 and Bridgy 1.4.1, I have “Bridgy Publish to Twitter” enabled. The excerpt is left blank. Bridgy publishes the Tweet with the title text of the post along with the featured image for the post. However, the link to the post is not posted along with the tweet.
