Hey @antekera

Thanks for reporting this issue. Once you've activated the plugin it will rewrite all image urls hosted on your WordPress domain to point at the imgix URL.

I can see that all your images are hosted on a separate subdomain, img.noticiascol.com. How have you set this up?

Thanks again, Luke

I've set up the plugin this way: http://bit.ly/2mAIVQu

My WP version is 4.7.3.

Thanks for sending that across Miguel.

Have you got any other plugins that are doing something with the images?
Your images are all served from the subdomain img.noticiascol.com, this could be the cause of the issue.

This plugin attempts the following, using the WordPress URL:

1. Identify an image URL eg. https://wordpress.url/example.jpg
2. Replace's WordPress URL part with imgix URL.

So we would rewrite a URL as:
https://wordpress.url/example.jpg
✨
https://wordpress.imgix.net/example.jpg

What are your URLs here set as:

This way: https://cl.ly/jSHY

These are my active plugins:

• Ajax Load More
• CloudFlare Flexible SSL
• Force SSL
• Jetpack by WordPress.com
• SSL Insecure Content Fixer
• WP Super Cache

Could you check your configuration for Jetpack and WP Supercache. Both of these plugins offer image offloading functionality and it could be that these are interferring with the imgix plugin. Thanks again, Luke

Hey @antekera,

Did you manage to get to the bottom of this issue at all?

[antekera]

I made some tests and disable all plugins but still not working.

[thisislawatts]

Thanks @antekera. After disabling the other plugins, can you confirm what the image URLs were. For example on this single post page?
https://www.noticiascol.com/2017/03/08/mataron-a-adolescente-zuliano-en-barranquilla

[antekera]

The image url in this post is this:
https://img.noticiascol.com//2017/03/sijinx.jpg_1609701233-660x440.jpg

OK, so I'm guessing that within imgix your Web Folder is set up as something like https://img.noticiascol.com? Trying to load an image that's on the same server as WordPress returns an error. eg. https://ncol.imgix.net/wp-content/themes/ncol/library/images/favicon.png

Currently the plugin is making the assumption that your images will be stored on the same server as the WordPress instance. However as all your images are being offloaded to img.noticiascol.com you need to be able to set a custom string that get's replaced.

I will update the issue title slightly and mark it as a feature request. Would you like to write this functionality and submit a PR? Alternatively I will aim to pick it up ASAP.

Hello,

was there any update in regards of this "feature request" after the fact?
