Failing to show previews

I installed it on my wordpress site and it recognizes the links and try to show previews, but it fails to load anything and has an error message On my site it is in Swedish (which is nice!) "Det uppstod ett problem när förhandsvisningen skulle visas." which roughly means "A problem occurred when displaying the preview."

Secondly, when clicking on the Read more on Wikipedia link, annoyingly it goes to the mobile website even if you're on a desktop.

Thanks for trying out Wikipedia Preview and giving feedback. We're really sorry for the errors. We are fixing it. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T287688


About the second issue, I am surprised by your experience. It goes to the desktop site when I try it. Are you using a laptop with a touch screen by any chance?

I am. A Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition with Ubuntu 20.04. My usual Wikipedia browsing has never shown the same behaviour though.
