Invalid Image URL

[Monica_Koran]

Hi all-

Wondering if something recently changed in Marketo.  I upload and image file and when I select it in the email to add ALT Text or a Link, it comes up with and "Invalid Image URL" 

fe

I did recently just get a new computer.  Could that be it?  I have also noticed that now within my Marketo Instance, it looks like the images don't download by default.  Very frustrating, Any thoughts?

I had the SAME thing happen to me last week. I cleared all my cache and browser info (Chrome) during the Comcast web issues last week and ever since it was doing that.

For ME -- the resolution was the Chrome Extensions I had installed. Some didn't install fully and others not completely. If you're on chrome I'd make sure you go through those and try turning a bunch off, then back on later and see if you can find which are breaking.

As far as I know that was all related (I haven't had the issue since) but seems like a weird problem -- I thought it was only me.
(I think the culprit was Ghostery)

Thx JD Nelson​!  I had recently obtained a new computer and within Chrome, I needed to clear my cache and you are right, it was Ghostery that was causing the problems.  Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi Monica Koran​,

I had a similar issue with a different platform. It might be because your image is located on a non secure website (http://) whereas the Marketo system is secure (https://). Marketo might be blocking the image because of that. If it keeps happening, try uploading your image to a secure domain and see if that helps.

Thanks,

Gerard

curious to see how it panned out, Monica Koran

Im not sure if this is the case, but I think "I spy with my little eye"... a space in the file name.

If there is indeed a space between "Segment" and "Video" in the filename and you load that to Marketo's Images/Files folder, you might see something like this happening. You can fix this by updating the filename to have a dash or underscore and no spaces, then re-upload it to the Images/Files folder.

Technically, Marketo will replace the space in the URL with a special character (%20) and you'll be able to access the image that way, but I'd say it's best-practice to stay away from images with spaces in the name.

Hope this is helpful.

Is it related to http vs https?

I had a similar issue and was told that I'm pointing the wrong URL ( I needed to change http to https)

Had the same issue today - here is the answer: In your chrome settings you need to allow https://na-abc.marketodesigner.com/. It worked perfectly 🙂
