ERROR: Parameter 'image_url' is not a valid URL format

Hi,

I got really excited about this plugin, but unfortunately cannot get it to work.

When I try to pin an image, it gives me the said error: Parameter ‘image_url’ (value wp-content/path-to-image.jpg) is not a valid URL format.

The image is also not being captured. I’ve tried it on multiple different WP Themes – including original Twenty’s – same thing on all.

Here’s the screenshot: http://oi57.tinypic.com/3166ptw.jpg

Plugin Author, please kindly consider that I cannot have this plugin activated at all times because it’s not working, therefore, I will only be able to provide a link to the website and activate it for you once you confirm that you’ve seen this request.

Thanks for any help!

Hi mrsztuszkens

Any updates by any chance? I’d like to disable the plugin if it isn’t possible to find a fix.

Thank you!

A new version of the plugin that should fix this issue is available.

Just tried it – works very nicely. Thanks, you’re the man!

If it’s no secret, what was the issue?

The issue was quite simple – you’re using relative image urls on your website (/image1.jpg instead of http://address.com/image1.jpg). Quite honestly, it was the first time I saw that on a WordPress website (that’s why the plugin didn’t cover this situation). The fix was quite simple – to make sure a full address is passed to Pinterest.
