Reply To: SiteShot not working for new entries

@ James

Ok, the WP screenshot service does not seem to like that site. Accessing it directly returns a 404 error, as seen here:

Here’s a working site:

• https://s0.wp.com/mshots/v1/http%3A%2F%2Fconnections-pro.com

My best guess is that it is the YouTube videos that the WP.com screenshot service does not like.

What I do, and suggest to you is set SiteShot as the fallback image, but upload no images. The template will use the screenshot as normal. But for difficult sites, you can manually upload a screenshot that you take from your computer.

The shortcode would be like this:

[connections image='photo' image_fallback='siteshot' image_single='photo' image_single_fallback='siteshot']

I will have to push out a small update for Gridder so you can use the image_fallback option. I’ll get to it this week asap.

Hope this helps!
