Error when trying to add image

  • As you can see in the image above when I try to add any image I get the red error. And you can see in the rest request it says: “Image file does not exist on remote server or there was an error accessing the file.” – Unfortunately it’s not telling me anything else about the error. I tested this for Unsplash, Pexels, and the others.

    Please advise.

    Hi @timsayshey Strange – I’m not getting any issues on my end so it’s likely not API related.

    Do you have any other sites you can test on to see if maybe this is a security thing blocking on this specific site?

    if ( false !== strpos( $url, $server_ip ) || false !== strpos( $url, $server_name ) ) {
	return false;
}

    The error was being caused by the above security check. For some reason my server has SERVER_ADDR and SERVER_NAME set to NULL. Guess it has something to do with Caddy, Docker or Cloudflare. For now I am defaulting them in the config.php to get by which solved the error.

    Interesting. And nice find, I wouldn’t have been able to diagnose this for you.

    This ‘fix’ was put in place last release because of an admin level exploit.

    ??Need to think about how to account for this. Maybe I could add a constant or something where if it’s in the WP Config it skips this additional security check.

    This is what I put in my config file that checks to make sure the two values are set, and they aren’t, it falls back:

    $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] = isset($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] : $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) ? $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] : $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
