Post Reaction - Where are you finding URLs for the reactions

[arkitecgirly]

Hello,

Can anyone let me know where they were able to find URL's to use for the post reaction plugin? 

I love the idea of this plugin, but everything I find has .png at the end of the URL and I get the error that I need to use a valid URL... 

Any resources are greatly appreciated!

URLs ending with .png, .jpg, .gif or any other file extension are valid, but you need to make sure your image URL begins with either http:// or https://

elli - this is what I am getting.  any thoughts?




I went here: emojipedia.org/apple/ios-12.2/smiling-face-with-open-mouth-and-tightly-closed-eyes/
and right clicked on the emoji face, and clicked "copy image address" which is what I pasted into the image URL in the plugin

Oh - you'll need to rehost those. Copying the image address from this page would be hotlinking.

The field seems to also want a www, but that's not valid for these images. You'll have to rehost them anyway.

Other images work without a www, so I'd guess it's the multiple sub-domains on the URL.

elli, but rehost you mean somehow put them on a page I own? ....sorry SAHM who runs a very small board - my tech knowledge is very low for this type of thing!

Yes, your forum allows you to host extra images on your theme.

Go to Admin > Themes > Theme Manager and hover over the name of your theme. You should see an "Images" button appear.



Click this, and it will take you a page with all of your theme's images. If you scroll to the bottom, there's a section for "Custom Theme Images". You can upload extra images here, then click "Link" to grab the URL.
