Hi, Prebhdev

congrats for this plugin.

Just have tried it and it is what i need, but there is a small issue. I put some URL in the content, the image is uploaded to the library and everything is great. But when I remove the image from the content I can no longer use it from the library for featured image. It removes it automatically.

So can you put some check for existing featured image. This way is comfortable even if you want to use some other image or upload by yourself.

Regards

Hello,
Thank you for your plugin.
I have noticed that for old post without featured image I have to manually update them to get your plugin to work.
Is there a way to bulk update a list of posts ?
I have tried with wordpress’ default bulkedit options but it doesn’t change anything.
Thank you for your help,
Akinori

Hi there,
I have discovered problem with this plugin, It works well but if we want change our blog adress in posts stay static url to image. for example:

You have post Lorem ipsum with image
<img class=”size-medium alignright” src=”https://somedomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/some_image.jpg”&gt;

I sugest to change static domain name adress to base url from wp core ??
I’m talking about this https://somedomain.com/*

best regards

I’m using WordPress 3.9 and getting no results when saving or publishing a post with external image embeds… Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Prebhdev Singh !
Your code is pretty clever, I like it ! Clean and short…

I did develop my own plugin (forking yours) to do what yours is doing, but… I had it erased by an hard drive crash after lots of hours working on it.
I had some nice ideas for it and would like to suggest them to you, as I would really like to see them in your plugin (since I have no more time – and motivation – now to start my own version from scratch again).

Those were my main ideas :

1. do not hook your function on publish_post, but rather add a checkbox on the edit screen so you still can check for remote medias when you are editing the post, even after having published it.
2. Your plugin should download remote medias but should also check first that the media do not already exists: I suggest your plugin to save a meta data (the remote media url) for each media imported, and to compare it to the url of the remote media you try to import.
   + : check if the url of the media is not local : no need to import a media that is already on our server.
3. load the post content as DOMDocument element should be an easier way to parse the code
4. Check if a featured image exists before setting one here + like in 1), have it as an option on the edit screen (do not force it)
5. When finding a remote image in the post content, check if it is inside a link tag (a href) linking to an image : that would mean the first image is a thumbnail and that we have the link to its HD version, so we should download the HD image instead. (this is what I needed when I forked your plugin, and that is where the others ideas are coming from)
6. A metabox displaying the list of the remote medias we could import is even a better idea than the checkbox I was talking in 1) : with a list, the user could choose which medias he wants to import, and ignore the others.
7. Eventually allow to download other medias like videos or audios if a video or audio tag is found. (and that’s why the previous point is important)
8. add hooks & filters so we can extend your plugin

Hope you will like the ideas ! Give me your feedback on it !

While this plugin is useful for posts that do not have a featured image, I would prefer that it first CHECK if a featured image is set before running. As it is currently written, when I have a post with a featured image set and no image in the body of the post, the plugin forces the featured image slot to be blank (i.e., no image shows up on my posts).

First of all..i love the plug in. It is exactly what i am looking for and works wonderfully..

..except for one little problem, that is a big one for me!

I post by email often, which is great, because i simply email <img src=”image.jpg”> into the body of the mail, and your plug in takes care of the rest. The problem is, unless I either open the post in my wp-admin, or have it emailed as a draft, and then manually switch it to “published”… the image in the body shows up fine, but the featured image does not.

like i said..if i just simply open the post in admin and update, it becomes the featured image.

is there a way that this can work without having to open the posts?

thanks!

So this might not be the result of ASRI, but when I disabled the plugin it stopped happening. So I think it would be worth investigating.

I created a post with a photo gallery. The images were not separately inserted… they only appear within the post [gallery].

I noticed that every time I update the post, a new empty photo appears within the gallery.
(under the screen where you can see the members of the gallery and edit settings Edit Post > Visual Editor > select gallery > Click the photo icon to edit).

Hi, great idea for a plugin.

However, I’m having some problems using it with my Smugmug hosted images due to the way it translates % symbols in the URL.

Here’s what happens. I insert an image

https://etchedinpixels.smugmug.com/Things/Still-Life/i-WrrB5bg/3/M/Giant%20peach%20moktak%3F-M.jpg

And the plugin uploads it to my site as

https://etchedinpixels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Giantpeachmoktak%3F-M.jpg

However, WordPress then fails to load the image, it returns a 404.

I found that the URL needs to be entered as

https://etchedinpixels.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Giantpeachmoktak%253F-M.jpg

Note that in the browser any % in the filename needs to be changed to %25 the plugin isn’t doing this when inserting the URL into the post.

I’m going to see what I can do to fix the code but I barely know anything. I’ll post if I have a solution. Thanks for all the great work.

Hello,

Just a perfect awesome plugin and exactly what I was looking for. Altho i have a slight problem.

I have installed FeedWordPress to automatically download rss feeds and post on my page. Everything works fine during the initial fetching and posting of a new rss feed, but when that is done and I leave it to itself, your plugin does no longer work and the posts just contains text. See inspiration.se for referens and don’t forget to go back to older post to see it working.

And again, thanks so very much for an awesome plugin, keep up the good work!

heya,

The plugin is great and does its work like it should.

I noticed it downloads nonsense images like smiles and flattr buttons, so i was wondering; do you plan on specifying (albeit in source) a minimum width or height for downloaded images?
