Social cards plugin looks for a blog card in a non existing location

[hellt]

Hey all,
I decided to leverage the social cards plugin (9.5.19-insiders-4.53.8) for a new docs site I am building, and during the docs build I see that the GET request failed for the blog posts cards:

WARNING:root:Remote image could not been reached: http://0.0.0.0:8000/assets/images/social/blog/posts/2024/launch.png. Trying again with GET and disabling SSL verification. Attempt: 1. Trace: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>

The config I have is super basic:

plugins:
  - blog:
      post_url_format: "{slug}"
      archive: false
      categories: false
      post_excerpt_max_authors: 2
      authors_profiles: true
  - social:
      cards_layout_options:
        font_family: Open Sans

My blog dir layout is:

❯ tree docs 
docs
├── blog
│   ├── index.md
│   ├── posts
│   │   └── 2024
│   │       └── launch.md

And the cards checking function tried to fetch the card via

/assets/images/social/blog/posts/2024/launch.png

path, while it actually doesn't have nor posts, nor date dirs in the path:

/docs # ls -la /tmp/mkdocs_kvpe8ymm/assets/images/social/blog/eda-launch.png 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         45133 Apr 27 18:16 /tmp/mkdocs_kvpe8ymm/assets/images/social/blog/eda-launch.png

Was I able to screw this basic config somehow? Or is it an issue?

Thanks for reporting. It's not the social card plugin, but the RSS plugin. Closing as duplicate of #6930.

• Interaction with mkdocs-material, images produces by Social plugin cause error Guts/mkdocs-rss-plugin#257.
