Hi Pablo, I tried to change a couple of pictures last week and started to get this message
Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the picture

I have talked to my domain (isp) provider and Microsoft, both have referred me back to the software developer (you).
Can you shed any light on the problem.

The site opens correctly locally, but pictures don't upload.

This image may be causing the issue:
m878x4owyg.jpg
there is a error in the meta tag open graph settings.

The url should be
https://davehappen.co.uk/index.html

otherwise the path to the image cannot be determined.

Note that WWB does not add any images or content to the page. You are in full control over which images are on your page.
So, if pictures are blocked then they have been added by yourself.

In the project you have shared , the image is set in
Page properties -> Meta Tags - Open Graph

This is also where you have set the URL to: https://davehappen.co.uk

In the project you have shared, the page 'Poppy-Appeal' only has one picture.

If you need further assistance then please try to be more specific because this is not an issue cause by the software but something in your configuration.

What do I need to do to get this message?
What is the name of the image that is blocked?
Where is your website?

I doubt that the images are blocked in anyway by the software once published then they are out of any control of it.
Looking at the screenshot it looks to me you are trying to use "Windows Explorer" to "View" not "Preview" the page or its html this explains the warning.
As the images are located externally and not locally then a request is sent to the host to download them this could inturn allow you or the creator of the page to see where the request is coming from and identify the PC so hence the warning ⚠️.
As the request in coming from you yourself, you can try the following to allow the images to be viewed and not blocked.
In Windows go to Control Panel-->Windows Defender-->Options-->Real-Time Protection and uncheck scan Downloaded files and Attachments and you should now not see the warning.
