This plugin doesn’t update the ALT fields of the images from the alt tags, so, basically, it’s exactly the same as just bulk downloading the images from a remote site and bulk uploading them to your library. It does stick the local copies in the same places you had hotlinked them in your post, which is great (and is the reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1), unless, like me, it leaves you with 500 media files that you now need to update the alt fields individually by hand, making the whole exercise a waste of time.

When I tried to use this on my blog (which has been running since 2001, and has many thousands of entries), it failed miserably.
For many years, I kept images on a different server I run, and linked to them from my blog. I finally decided to migrate all the images to my blog. Things seemed to go well at first, until the plugin hit a few hundred images, at which point my VPS crashed hard.
The plugin seems only meant for tiny blogs with maybe a dozen images or so. There’s no rate limiting, no provision for heavy load, no way it can handle more than a small handful of images.
Also, it wants to resize images, for some reason. If oyur goal is to end up with a blog exactly the same as it was before, but with the images local instead of remote, it should just…bring in the remote images, not resize them.

The one that really works without messing my HTML, and allowing automatic caching for future posts at the same time.
The only thing that I’d like is the ability to change the cached file name (like caching with the post name or time included on name. And change base URL. Thanks!

Despite some comments to the contrary, this plug-in works with WordPress 4.9.2. It is well-designed with a very helpful user interface.
If you want to get rid of hot-linked images on your WordPress, this is a painless way to find them and automatically put the images on your own site and replace the link.

Yes! Thank you for this little plugin that does exactly what it does properly.
– Imports images from blogger
– Rewrites hotlinks in post and updates database
– Imports images in conventional WP folders (uploads/<year>/<month>)
– Imports all hotlinks from any sites (so you can run this little tool every month to check on the image links in your blog

This plugin is a lifesaver. Migrated images from Blogger to a self-hosted WordPress site.
