I was able to solve this, under the Use dropdown if you select Thumbnail, then it creates a bug where the returned URL is not in a picture format so when it calls media_handle_sideload it fails because is not a valid picture format.

Solution would be to pick Full Image, then the full url is returned and it can be processed.

Thanks! for your response, about the username, yes, big big bigggg fan of GNR.

You provided great insights, option A is possible, already implemented it and it works however going back and forth getting the IDs to match the correct question is a little annoying. I agree with you, might be more work than what its worth.

Option B, will need to work on it a little bit more. Ideally with a URL it would need to added it to the server, then process it into the media library, then get the id.

Option C: Maybe find a plugin that pulls images from Creative Common libraries and attach as feature image. There is one but is quite buggy

No, try the theme’s function.php file

[UPDATE] I delete everything under my functions.php file, and now it is showing up. So, it is something with the functions file, now I need to debug what it is.

I’m having the exact same issue, I noticed if I switch the theme they load. However I need to figure out what on my theme is causing this.
