I’m having this issue. I made no changes to the server:
Is this familiar to anyone where it just stops working out of the blue?
When I inspect the missing image, I see this:
Edit: I restored forum backups from as far as a week ago. No luck.
The images worked up to this morning. Do they depend on some external service besides Wordpress?
What can I check from Wordpress’ end?
Edit 2: Restoring a WP backup from last night did the trick. So reverting then will diff all files.

Now I’m stumped. So I restored the backup that I made before reverting to yesterday’s WP backup (the one with images not working), and now the images are STILL working.
So sure what the issue was or if I will ever find the cause.
Edit: So the issue was actually still there. (Once I cleared the browser cache) I restored backups for WordPress and Discourse as old as a month ago and still have the issue. Really strange.
Edit: I notice that Discouse has excluded importing images to to the forums. Is this because it’s problematic?
For example:
2 Images…
> **[Discourse Chat is now available.](https://blog.discourse.org/2022/08/discourse-chat-is-now-available-try-it-out-today/)**
>

Images removed…

> [Discourse Chat](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-chat/230881/3) is now available to everyone as an open beta and is [100% free and open source](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat), as always. This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://blog.discourse.org/2022/08/discourse-chat-is-now-available-try-it-out-today/](https://blog.discourse.org/2022/08/discourse-chat-is-now-available-try-it-out-today/)
How can this be achieved because this does not seem to be an issue with config or server because I restored both WP and Discourse to backups longggg before this issue and images are still missing.

Not that I have seen.

Noted. I was able to solve it. At least, I think so. I will wait a bit to confirm, then follow up next week n’ mark that thread solved if images don’t go missing again. 🤞

I’ve slipped over these posts to here to keep the conversation grouped together. 👍

The solution to this - I’ve since confirmed by recreating the issue and fixing again - was:
Disabling the [WP-Rocket](https://wp-rocket.me/) **LazyLoad** feature.
I’m not sure how this conflicts (not my area of expertise), which is why I was hesitant about posting as the solution, but after testing this repeatedly, I can confirm blog images will fail to load on my setup when WP-Rocket’s LazyLoad feature is enabled.
I tried FlyingPress previously and had the same issue (worse actually, because ALL images forums+blog stopped loading) so I switched to WP-Rocket.
Now WP-Rocket works with Lazyload disabled. (Lazy loading is built-in by default a lot now anyways)
Current settings which don’t affect wp-discourse images in the forums:
Leaving this here in case anyone else comes across this issue.
