images don’t load from Airtable

Can you view the HTML (page source) of the page and post either a screencapture or copy/paste the source of image that isn’t loading?

Something like:

<img src="https://dl.airtable.com/ypC6h0zsRWia4D6Kx5m5_common-ground.jpg">

Also, if you’re able to posts screenshot of the backend admin/editor (shortcode?) that is generating the image that would be helpful also.

My gut says that you’re using a Airpress shortcode inside another shortcode (or page editor) that doesn’t actually render the short code. “Nested” shortcodes don’t work unless specifically coded to do so by the plugin author. So if you wrap a Airpress shortcode inside another shortcode that doesn’t support nesting, it simply won’t be executed.

thanks for the quick response Chester.

I am really a newbie on all this, so bear with me…

I am using the classic editor, but on another plugin, “Encyclopedia Lite,” (which creates custom posts for automatic cross-linking between the posts for our wiki), but I have also tried it with WP regular classic editor and the result is the same…

Thanks again for your help

I don’t see anything strange at a glance…

And the image does appear to load here on the forum, so I don’t know why it wouldn’t load on your site—unless you had some javascript that was attempting to do lazy-loading or something.

OK, thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to take a look.

I will check if there is something like that at work, but I did not install any plugin for that… I just kept the original bluehost wp install.

The strange thing is that when I tried a plugin to import the images from the airtable links into WP media gallery, the same happened..

something gets into the media gallery, but this is how it looks
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kr2a8qj4kkdkl93/2018-10-18%20%283%29.png?dl=0

and this is how the upload looks:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8b9c3j5n81n3fw/2018-10-18%20%284%29.png?dl=0

so, it says that the file was uploaded successfully, but it is only 1 byte… and even stranger is that when I click “view”, it actually shows me the image

That is why I thought that the issue could be from AirTable’s end…

do you have any other suggestions where I should look for the problem?

Thanks again for your help.

PS: Even if I dont get the images to work, I am still going to use Airpress to populate all the text on the website…

I’m going to mark this as resolved as it does not appear to have anything to do with the Airpress plugin. It must be something at the server level between your host and Airtable.

Could be some security certificate issue with whatever PHP is using to download the remote image… but that seems unlikely as a regular img src wasn’t working either. You could always try the import plugin again using https instead of https. If that works you can talk to your host about the issue.
