Why won't this link import?

When trying to create a post in the manager app by importing a link, you may receive the following error message.

"We couldn't import any content from the link you provided. To submit this post, please enter a title (and any other fields) below."

This could be caused by a non-standard character, like an apostrophe, pound symbol (hashtag), trademark symboled, and others, in the URL. Or, it could be that the URL doesn't have the necessary metadata in order to automatically construct the post.

To resolve this, verify if the non-standard character is necessary in the URL. Often, there are other, duplicate URLs that can be used. Alternatively, consider manually creating the post in the system.
