Here's a link that shows the photo temporarily but then disappears http://www.220triathlon.com/news/home/


I also have an RSS feed from another website that isn't showing photos.

I'm sorry, but we cannot reproduce that on our side. See screenshot. 

What is your software version? What is your newsfeed plugin version?

OK thank you I appreciate your help.

The software version is 1.8.1 and I'm not sure what version the newsfeed plugin is at, i assume it's the latest because it doesn't show an update?


Could this be a server side issue? Maybe something to do with SSL?

Are you running SSL on your site? (Https)

Yes I'm running SSL but the issue seems to have just resolved itself somehow?!

This may be the issue.
Bryan has provided a quick fix. (I haven't tried it yet)

We have tried the same link on the website running with SSL, the image is still displayed. 


Ian, please share your URL, make sure it is open for registration. We'll check the issue.
