CyberSEO - Topic: Thumbnail Generation Error - Failed to Retrieve https://www.cyberseo.net/forum/rssretriever-plugin/thumbnail-generation-error-failed-to-retrieve/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 CyberSEO on Thumbnail Generation Error - Failed to Retrieve https://www.cyberseo.net/forum/rssretriever-plugin/thumbnail-generation-error-failed-to-retrieve/#p10572 RSS Retriever https://www.cyberseo.net/forum/rssretriever-plugin/thumbnail-generation-error-failed-to-retrieve/#p10572 This is not a plugin issue. The log clearly shows a connection timeout on your server side:

First, CyberSEO Pro tries to download the image via cURL. Then, it automatically falls back to file_get_contents(). Both methods fail. This clearly indicates that your server cannot reach automatadr.com; it does not mean that the plugin is doing something wrong.

The image itself is accessible, and downloads without any problems in other environments (tested). Therefore, the issue is either:

  • a network/firewall restriction on your server or
  • the remote server is blocking your server's IP address.

In short, this is a server-to-server connection issue. Please contact your hosting provider to investigate outbound HTTPS connections from your server.

I have the setting as to not upload any articles if the thumbnail is missing, but the problem seems to be generating the thumbnail. 

My website is eltestigo.do
