 * Hi [@ryankhgb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankhgb/)
 * You need to go to [https://www.shutterstock.com/account/developers/apps](https://www.shutterstock.com/account/developers/apps)
   and select the App you are using with this plugin. Click the ‘…’ on the App and
   then click “Edit”
 * In the App Edit prompt, you need to set the Referrer field to match your WordPress
   site’s domain. For local development that might be “localhost”, or if your site
   is hosted at e.g. ryankhgb.com you would put “ryankhgb.com” as the Referrer.
 * Note if your site is available on multiple domains, you can put them as a comma
   separated list in the Referrer field, e.g. “localhost,ryankhgb.com”
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi,
    Thanks for the prompt response. This issue has been fixed but wondering 
   why this plugin is missing the core functionallity to bring an option under “
   select featured image” button to list “shutterstock” there as well. Below is 
   the screenshot where I really want it to be.

 * Thanks for the feedback [@ryankhgb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankhgb/)
 * Glad to hear the referrer issue has been resolved.
 * Currently we don’t support the feature you’re looking for with featured images,
   but I’ll bring it up with the team to see if we can make it happen.

 * I have the same problem. It worked earlier. I have tried editing the app with
   no luck and it seems correct. Always error Invalid referer.
