Post Thumbnails are broken, which is chosen from URL

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us.

The lite version supports only the core buit-in Featured image (in Media Library, or upload at the time of settings featured image).

Using external image URL as Featured image (by a third party as theme or another plugin) is not supported.

The Pro version supports both core and custom Featured image (from a third party, image in post content, image in custom field,…).

Best regards,

@pt-guy
thanks for the reply,

it used to work before,

by few days it is not working.

i have old backup of my website and if am running it in localhost
it is displaying thumbnail from url image.

if i click particular article(or Post), i can able to see featured image in the single view mode.

Hi there,
There were no changes in our free plugin recently, so if it worked for you before, it should continue to work. Besides moving from localhost to public, did you do any other changes (about theme, plugin, code) which can cause the issue?
Also, which plugin are you using to set external image as thumbnail?
Best regards,

Hello @pt-guy

I found the solution for my problem but not completely,

still for some articles thumbnail is missing, if I see the code in the browser it is not considering the image from the post as thumbnail and found this issue as strange.

I have unchecked Disable responsive image of WordPress checkbox in display settings in Thumbnail section, this has worked for some articles on my web page

but still, as I mentioned in my thread, it was taking the wrong image source path,

after unchecking the Disable responsive image of WordPress option for few articles it is taking image src path as (Unknown)

I hope I am able to explain to you my issue,

Please reply to me if I have to give more description of my problem.

Thanks ??

Any solution Please?

Hi there,
Were all posts here https://studiumbook.com/articles/ created by a same way?
If so, the problem should be caused by the broken data/image of specific posts. Because our plugin succesfully shows images of other posts.

I checked most of missing-image posts on your page, and our plugin actually got image URL. For example:
The post “Principles of Metallurgy (chemistry)” has this image URL:
https://i2.wp.com/studiumbook.com/principles-of-metallurgy/1566815199_-115×65.jpg/

You should check the posts with missing image, to confirm if the uploaded image was broken or not, also compare with working posts to find any wrong things.

Best regards,

Hello @pt-guy ,

Thanks for your response,
i have checked my images and they are not broken,
if you could see “Heat (Physics)” Article, the src path it has taken is (unknown),
and when i open Heat (Physics) Article i can able to find the image in my Article body
and i checked my Upload Directory too, the image is available in the respective directory

Thanks ??

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply.

Our plugin processes all posts in the same way.
If it works for most of posts, there are something wrong with some posts.

The image is shown in content doesn’t mean the post has featured image.

That can be caused by the plugin which you used to create/submit the post, or the impact of Jetpack plugin which you are using to host images.

Troubleshooting third parties plugin is out of our support for lite version.
Please upgrade to Pro version so our technical team member can support you further.

Or the easiest way for you is setting featured image for any posts which thumbnail is missing.

Best regards,
