Image errors appear in AI AutoPost → Log. The most common ones:
- image could not be downloaded after 3 attempts — the photo exists but your server could not fetch it. The source may block downloads from servers or be slow, the image link may have expired, or your hosting may block outgoing connections. The article is tried again on the next run; after 3 failed runs it is skipped. If this happens for every article, ask your host whether outgoing HTTP requests are allowed. If it happens for one website only, replace that feed.
- Image REJECTED — downloaded file is …, not a valid image — the source sent a web page or another file instead of a JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP photo. Usually that feed's images are protected; replace the feed.
- image could not be saved to uploads directory or Image WRITE FAILED — check that
wp-content/uploads/mcp-images exists and is writable (755 is usual) and that your hosting disk is not full.
