I don't know if anyone else experienced the same problem, but I just don't know why article description is not visible on my feed page after sharing. I used these recommendations for customized URL sharing: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin
i.e. my link looks like this:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
If you follow this link, you'll see that the summary ("My favorite developer program") is visible in the preview. However, this summary is not visible in my feed after sharing. The same happens if I use tag within page markup instead of specifying "summary" directly in URL
I'll be very grateful for your advice.

You may be seeing this error message because your link may not have "https://" at the beginning. If you do not include "https://" with your link URL, please add it and try to submit it again. Please also ensure that there are no spaces at the beginning of your link. This will cause the same error message.
Take the URL of the page you are sharing (i.e., example.com, not linkedin.com/share? url=example.com), and input that URL into the following: LinkedIn Post Inspector. This will tell you everything about how your URL is being shared!
URLs with spaces in them can't be shared on LinkedIn and will result in an error. To make the URL shareable on LinkedIn, you can ask the website owner to encode the white space or remove the spaces from the URL.
For example, if you share a link from the Kinsta homepage, the preview looks like this: LinkedIn uses something called Open Graph meta tags to get the data pertaining to the image, title, and description of your link.
Having trouble with the preview of a page you want to share on LinkedIn? You could use the LinkedIn debugger tool known as the Post Inspector to sort out any problems before posting. With millions of key decision-makers on the platforms, the last thing you want to do is make a bad impression.
But people also refer posts/video tips of 'LinkedIn coaches/mentors' where it is recommended 'not to share links inside the posts but to dump links in the comment area!' As a curious experimenter of LinkedIn, I find no reason to dump web links outside the posts. I freely share as many web links as I require to share inside the posts.
If you navigate to a previously claimed custom public profile URL, you may see a page that reads Profile Not Found. Additional language profiles have the same public profile URL, but LinkedIn will add a language field at the end. For example, "fr" would be added at the end of the URL for a member's French profile.
You can only choose one option:
og:image tag, and your image will display.Do you want both an image and a description to display? Currently just not possible. Maybe put the text of the description into the image? I have no idea, it would just be nice if they made their API work according to their own documentation.
