Hi @srikat,
How do I get started with Desktop server? I don’t even know what it is 🙂
Free?
DS uses XAMPP and allows us to easily spin up WP sites on localhost.
They do have a free version which has certain limitations but those limitations do not matter for testing the issue being discussed here.
It can be downloaded here: https://serverpress.com/get-desktopserver/
Thanks in advance.
I had the same problem and after debugging it related to two roots.
First of all, check if php-curl module is installed.
Second, my virtual machine was using the wrong date, so curl stopped because the certificate of unsplash was valid in the future.
Hope this helps.
@sebastianlaube thanks for this.
@srikat Can you let me know if this helps you before I install Desktop Server to try and sort this out?
@sebastianlaube I checked the output of phpinfo() and do see that cURL is enabled.
I do not have Apache and other parts of the localhost server inside a VM.
Any other ideas?
Having the same issue too. Im using Laravel Valet running PHP7 and like Sridhar I have cURL support enabled. When uploading manually to the media section the server is able to push create the files. However Instant Images doesn’t seem to be able to do so. It creates a file on what I assume is a temporary folder:
https://cl.ly/1U0p3e2V293V
But the file never gets to the folder which would make it available for WordPress media.
Just to update on this, not sure if you are familiar but Laravel runs the server using the native server scripts, not a VM is what I mean. It is now based on nginx, not sure if that makes any difference in this case.
@lmartins thanks for this.
Your screenshot shows the temporary file is created on the server (/instant-images), but is likely failing in the next step which is transferring this file to the media library.
Line 286 of instant-images/admin/admin.php is the instant_img_resize_image() function that resizes, uploads the image via media_sideload_image() and deletes the original.
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/instant-images/trunk/admin/admin.php#L286
Do you see anything in this function that could be causing problems?
Hey guys,
I just pushed a new version of the plugin that fixed the issue other users were having in this thread – i’m hopeful this will fix the issue for you as well.

@srikat i’m not sure if this will work for you since UnsplashWP didn’t work either but fingers crossed.
Just tried the current latest version. Same problem.
Perhaps code like
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/file.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$image_url = "http://domain.com/blog/23092839823";
$image_tmp = download_url($image_url);
if( is_wp_error( $image_tmp ) ){
echo "<br> Image Download Fail:";
}else {
$image_size = filesize($image_tmp);
$image_name = basename($image_url) . ".jpg"; // .jpg optional
//Download complete now upload in your project
$file = array(
'name' => $image_name, // ex: wp-header-logo.png
'type' => 'image/jpg',
'tmp_name' => $image_tmp,
'error' => 0,
'size' => $image_size
);
//This image/file will show on media page...
$thumb_id = media_handle_sideload( $file, $post_id, $desc);
set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $thumb_id); //optional
echo "<br> Image Save ";
}
mentioned at SO.
@rhand,
Thanks for the investigation.
Since I don’t have a development env to test Desktop Server or Laraval Valet I was wondering if you would want to help contribute to the plugin?
As I said above, the issue would be on line 286 of instant-images/admin/admin.php. The instant_img_resize_image() function that resizes, uploads the image via media_sideload_image() is where things are failing.
if you have time and the ambition it would likely help other users.
Cheers,
Will be putting it on my agenda. That is besides the theme I am working on and accompanying portfolio plugin @dcooney. When I have something I will let you know.
