  • Hi @ryankhgb

    You need to go to https://www.shutterstock.com/account/developers/apps and select the App you are using with this plugin. Click the ‘…’ on the App and then click “Edit”

    In the App Edit prompt, you need to set the Referrer field to match your WordPress site’s domain. For local development that might be “localhost”, or if your site is hosted at e.g. ryankhgb.com you would put “ryankhgb.com” as the Referrer.

    Note if your site is available on multiple domains, you can put them as a comma separated list in the Referrer field, e.g. “localhost,ryankhgb.com”

    Hope this helps!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the prompt response. This issue has been fixed but wondering why this plugin is missing the core functionallity to bring an option under “select featured image” button to list “shutterstock” there as well. Below is the screenshot where I really want it to be.

    Your feedback?

    Thanks for the feedback @ryankhgb

    Glad to hear the referrer issue has been resolved.

    Currently we don’t support the feature you’re looking for with featured images, but I’ll bring it up with the team to see if we can make it happen.

    I have the same problem. It worked earlier. I have tried editing the app with no luck and it seems correct. Always error Invalid referer.
