External image replace

Description

Download the image of the external URL present in the article, register it in the media library, and replace the URL with the media library.
It is useful when importing from another blog.

For example, if the URL of the current blog is https://wiredpunch.com, the result is as follows.

＜img src=”https://example.com/xxxx.jpg” ＞
↓
＜img src=”https://wiredpunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/xxxx.jpg” /＞

It is necessary to set the value of “allow_url_fopen” to true in php.ini of the download destination server.

1. Go to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

Excellent

This plugin did the job for me. I had copied some content from Google Docs into Gutenberg. The images were referencing external URLs. After installing I clicked to process my post and it converted all images to internal images in the media library. Thank you.

I tried this plugin not working it shows following error 21:33:23 Error！ Post ID 1841 Processing could not be executed. 21:33:14 Post ID 1841 Start.

Works with Gutenberg (5.0.3)

I tried the other similar plugins, but they had problems with Gutenberg. This worked perfectly and did a bulk job (255 posts) with no problems on a low end server. Pro Tip: After installing, go to Tools > External image replace. It displays all your posts that have external images, then you can select which posts you want it to process. Or you can select all posts. I ran a test on one post, then ran it on 255 posts on a hostgator shared server. It was slow, but it worked! Thank you to the plugin developer!

グッジョブ！

とても便利なプラグインです。 手作業での引っ越しにくらべたら、どれだけの労力と時間が節約できるか。。。 トラブルは見られません、どうもありがとうございました。
