image url from uploaded wordpress not showing to my website

Question

I can`t use images uploaded from a worpress site to my custom site.

In my site i use an import from feed where image name is an URL.

The url with image is opening fine in new tab (if i inspect the source and open url)...but in my site the image is not showing.

In console also get: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

In my source code the image url is there:

<img class="img-responsive" style="max-height: 400px;" src="https://website.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/image_name.png" alt="image_name">

I am having this problem ONLY with this wordpress site with image urls, from other sites the image urls are working fine.

Could be a wordpress restriction or something like that?

Answer 1

The origin server checks the referer header of image requests - maybe to prevent embedding images on unknown websites.

There are ways to prevent sending referer headers like:

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer">
