'Error: Failed to download image. Host redirected the request.

Description:

‘Error: Failed to download image. Host redirected the request. From this URL: ’…’ to this URL: ’…’

The url provided to Shop Uploader redirects to a page that does not contain a downloadable image.

Solution:

This is caused by the following being true:

The url provided is not the final destination for the image. This would be similar to linking the post an image is in instead of the image itself.

Example of site vs image URL:

Site: https://imgur.com/YobcUsr

Image: https://i.imgur.com/YobcUsr.jpg

The final destination is wrong. For example, the provided url is for abc.com but it redirects to xyz.com.
