Title: Block external image src? Last modified: January 22, 2021 --- # Block external image src? * Resolved [Pascal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitepascal/) * (@kitepascal) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-external-image-src/) * Hi, * is it possible and what would be the best way to block an image src with Complianz? It’s setting Cookies (not wanted prior consent) * Or is it only designated to block script src & iframes? *

You can add this file in your mu-plugins folder: [https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-integrations/blob/master/block-images.php](https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-integrations/blob/master/block-images.php) * the images will get replaced with a placeholder. * For instructions on mu plugins, please see this article: [https://complianz.io/adding-filters-with-mu-plugins-quick-easy/](https://complianz.io/adding-filters-with-mu-plugins-quick-easy/) * Thread Starter [Pascal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitepascal/) * (@kitepascal) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-external-image-src/#post-13948458) * Hi [@rogierlankhorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rogierlankhorst/), * thank you! The image gets replaced now, but stays replaced on (Marketing) Cookies accept. Also after reload. * I guess Complianz’ JavaScript should revert the image src if Marketing accepted? Not happening here. * See bambooblog[.]de – Sidebar right, the 2nd image after “China Reisen – Facebook- Gruppe”. * Plugin Contributor [Rogier Lankhorst](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rogierlankhorst/) * (@rogierlankhorst) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-external-image-src/#post-13949075) * [@kitepascal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitepascal/) You’re right. I now realised this feature was only partly implemented, as part of the WP Google Maps Widget integration, which required only the blocking part. * I’ve finished the activation part here: [https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-gdpr/tree/activate-blocked-images](https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-gdpr/tree/activate-blocked-images) * I’ve just tested this, the activation is working well now. Let me know if this works for you as well! * In this implementation the same solution is used as for other blocked content: a notice appears on the image to indicate the content is blocked. I can imagine this could be a bit too much when there are a lot of images. You can disable the placeholder feature in the settings, although it will disable all placeholders on the site. * Thread Starter [Pascal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitepascal/) * (@kitepascal) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-external-image-src/#post-13949443) * Thank you again.
