Also, I have tried the same smtp in another domain and it works correctly with your plugin. * Can you help me to fix it in my web altaico.es? * Thank you. * Bye * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fimages-missing-in-gmail%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Sanjeev Aryal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanzeeb3/) * (@sanzeeb3) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14023850) * Hi [@altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/), * When you get a chance, could you please check by sending the test email from ** WP Mail SMTP > Email Test** and share the email file with us? Here’s [how to download emails](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/9261412?hl=en) in Gmail. * Possible reasons are: 1. your site/image URL wasn’t accessible to Gmail. 2. you have some links/clicks tracking etc. enabled with misconfiguration. 3. some other plugins in your site is creating conflict. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14024182) * ok give me an email address and i send to you the e-mail test. * It’s not the first reason because I can’t see the images in the [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/) address but only in gmail web browser and in gmail app. If I use another mail provider I can see correctly the images in [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/) mail. * About the Third option, I have already tried to activate/deactivate plugins. But it didn’t solve the problem. * [Sanjeev Aryal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sanzeeb3/) * (@sanzeeb3) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14029361) * Hi [@altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/), * Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like the issue is due to some settings in your Gmail App, or some extension in your web browser causing the issue.

If I open it with my email client I can see the images just OK (like you do in non-gmail app). * The image links are working OK in the email as well, because I can access this image in the email source code: [https://www.altaico.es/wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/assets/images/email/wp-mail-smtp.png](https://www.altaico.es/wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/assets/images/email/wp-mail-smtp.png) * I’m not sure why the images would not show in the gmail app (and gmail browser app) for you. * Do you maybe have external images disabled in your Gmail app. More info on how to check that can be found in [this Google support page](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/145919). * Take care! * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14061995) * ok i’ll check it. thank you. * Anyway, if you have test gmail I’ll send you a sample. * Thank you * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14062027) * I have the external images enabled in gmail. * thank you * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063121) * Hi [@altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/), * hmm strange… you can send to my test gmail address: amsmtptests * just add the [@gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmail/).com 🙂 (I don’t want to post the full valid email address here, since it can be picked up by spammers). * Take care! * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063145) * Hi Gregor, * email sent. * understood. * Thank you. * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063263) * Hi [@altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/), * yes, I don’t see your images as well. * Are you using the G-suite account or the free Gmail account to send email from your WP site? * I found this answer, which leads to a few suggestions on what could be at fault: [https://support.google.com/mail/thread/71416370?hl=en](https://support.google.com/mail/thread/71416370?hl=en) * Maybe the google’s cached version of your site images is broken, try to send an email with a new image in it, to test that theory. * Also, read all the answers in the above topic (and the linked suggestions). * If you are using the G-suite account, you might also try to whitelist your domain from the google’s URL proxy (mentioned in on of the linked suggestions). * Take care! * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063270) * Also, something might be blocking Google from accessing your site’s images. Are you maybe using and WP firewall plugins or a server level firewall? That might be at fault as well. * Check the server access logs for this image: [https://www.altaico.es/wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/assets/images/email/wp-mail-smtp.png](https://www.altaico.es/wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/assets/images/email/wp-mail-smtp.png) * Take care! * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063309) * I have already made several test about this topic. * First I use a smtp from a another private mail hosting. And I have tried the same configuration with the same plugin in another web that I manage and it correctly display the images. * I use a firewall and a server level firewall, but I don’t think is it because, are the same in the other web just mentioned above. Same firewall, same configuration. * Thank you. * Thread Starter [Altaico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/altaico/) * (@altaico) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-missing-in-gmail/#post-14063340) * How can I send another test mail with a different images? I can send a newsletter just to your test account, and you can check that your images will be displayed broken. * Also how can I check if the cache version of my web site is broken? * About the topic that you advice to me, I have already tried them. * Thank you.
