redirect change

Hey John,

Yes there is! We have a setting on the “Customize” tab called “Favor Local Images”. As long as our feature to localize resized images is working on your site this setting should fix the redirects.

The new API only has one full size image option available which can be as large as 1080px square. This is why the plugin uses a combination of the redirect method you are seeing and a local image storage option.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks Craig. Favor Local Images was checked. I cleared the image cache and it has made no difference. Any other thoughts?

In that case, it would be helpful to see the site firsthand along with your “System Info” from the “Support” tab. Can you contact us on our website with this info?

Think I found it. I unchecked Disable JS image loading and GTMetrix didn’t give those errors. I’ll watch it for a few days and get back to you via the support feed if they return but for now I’m going to mark this resolved.

Thanks for the help.

Sounds good! Have a great weekend.

I’m joining in on this issue as I do think there’s also a change you can make in your code. As the original post states there are 2 redirects:

1. 301: from ..media?size=t to …media/?size=t
2. 302: from …media/?size=t to https://scontent-….cdninstagram.com/…

The latter, the 302, cannot be prevented, but the former, the 301 (permanently moved), can be prevented by changing the code to render URLs like …media/?size=t instead of …media?size=t. So I hope you will change this for the next version.

Hey @erwinbr,

We appreciate you sharing this information with us. We are looking into this and will look to correct this in the next update.

Many thanks, hope you are having a great day!
