We don't really control which subdomain the images are sent to. You wanted to change it from img to www.

The issue that I see is that Gravity Forms didn't determine where to store that issue, as it really isn't uploaded/controlled by our plugin. While it was made for Contact Form 7 and has a hook that allows you to control RSC.</p> <p>You'll want to contact the developer and see what call you need in your wp-config to force the www vs img. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/captcha-image-broken-link-when-using-amazon-s3-as-uploads-directory#post-58713 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:23:27 +0000 jsros86 58713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using really simple captcha.</p> <p>The issue is that the captcha image currently uses the following address:</p> <p><a href="http://img.productionlocations.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/captcha-df4724a16aa5637e2129f98c2b9f674d/2085126867.png" rel="nofollow">http://img.productionlocations.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/captcha-df4724a16aa5637e2129f98c2b9f674d/2085126867.png</a></p> <p>that link above points to my amazon s3 bucket.</p> <p>I need it to use WWW. instead of IMG. productionlocations.com</p> <p>I put the following in my functions.php but it doesn't seem to be working.<br /> <a href="http://pastebin.com/QbKj1nTd" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/QbKj1nTd</a><br /> thanks for the quick response!
