[Resolved] WP Show Posts error with Generatepress

[George]

I’m getting thousands of log errors that says

[03-Apr-2022 11:24:20 UTC] WPSP_Resize.process() error: Image must be local: https://example.com/wp-includes/images/media/default.png

It has something to do with WP Show Post interacting with Generatepress

any idea what would cause this error? I’m assuming it might be a featured image issue, but I can’t figure it out. I added a code to have a default featured image (not default.png file), but I’m getting getting tons of this error

Hi there,

I added a code to have a default featured image

What happens if you remove that code ?

[George]

I actually just literally added that code to try to get rid of this error, but that didn’t help

[George]

I guess my question would be does Generatepress forwards default featured image to this default file if there’s no featured image set or if the featured image originally set doesn’t exist anymore?

https://example.com/wp-includes/images/media/default.png

[George]

and i’m using example.com here, but the error shows my actual domain, just fyi

[David]

Its not GP related. That error means the file the WPSP_Resize.process() is trying to process is not on your server. Are you featured images being served from a different domain or CDN ?

[George]

it’s definitely on my server, and yes it’s serving from my domain.

can you confirm if GP tries to pull image from https://example.com/wp-includes/images/media/default.png in wordpress if the original featured image is corrupt or deleted?

[David]

As i said its not GP related. And for the record, GP does not interfere with how WP handles featured images. If an image is missing or corrupted, GP does not know about it and does not do anything with it.
The error is related to WPSP. Can you share a link to the site where i can see WPSP being used ?

bottom of the post

is this support topic going to be made public? I would prefer not to have my domain out in the public. thanks

[David]

It is. I removed the domain. you can use the Private Information field to share details privately.
Can you confirm what version of WP Show Posts plugin you’re using ?

[George]

WP Show Posts Version 1.1.3

[George]

sorry if this is off topic, I just saw WP Show Post merged with GenerateBlocks.

Since WPSP hasn’t been updated for the last 7 months, is there function in GenerateBlocks I can use in place of WP Show Post?

[David]

See Tom’s reply here:

https://wpshowposts.com/support/topic/show-posts-images-not-working/#post-8324

In the first code ie.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    add_image_size( 'your-size-name', 500, 500, true );
} );

in the add_image_size set the 500 (W) and 500 (H) to match the size you’re using in the WP Show Posts list.

then add the other codes, which will tell WPSP to use that image instead of using the WPSP_Resize.process() function to resize them on the fly.

[George]

thanks, i’ll give it a shot

[David]

Let us know how you get on.
I missed your other reply.
GenerateBlocks will soon have a query block to replace WPSP. We aim to have the Alpha release out next week.
