I loved this plugin. It did exactly what it said. However the developer now made the very stupid move, to merge this plugins into another plugin called “Neilo Content”.
If you still want to use the external images features, you now need to install Neilo Content plugin, which is a massive plugin that comes with tons of features such as Editorial Calendar, Social Networks, team capability, which are all unrelated to the external images feature. This is very silly, since all those features sound nice in theory, but you sure won’t need it if you only want external images, not to mention the server load that is created by all these features and slows down your website unnecessarily. It’s a massive bloatware plugin that comes with heavy advertisement for the pro version
The only reason the developer discontinued and merged this plugin, was to promote his new plugin, which is bloatware and he advertises as free, but once installed, you are being prompted to upgrade to the Pro version.
Once again a developer on WordPress, who had a great open source product, but decided to throw it all away for a lousy promotion of his paid products.
The solution would have been simple, keep this plugin alive, and promote your paid plugin.
Anyway, this used to be a 5 star plugin, but now deserves a 1 star rating for this bad move.

For years I have been to lazy to upload an image form y posts that I copy images that are linked as thumbnails, like from picture forums. When you copy and paste the code it doesnt upload amy images to your server so there was never an image to use as featured. Just found this and BAM, every post has a featured image. Wish I found this years ago.
For search- How can I add a featured image from embedded images.

This works just fine on 4.5.3.
After using another plugin that corrupted my website, I downloaded this plugin and it works with zero problems.
The thing is smart. If you do not supply a href to the external image, it will look in the post for the first article and use that as the feature imaged. Very useful for existing websites that have a lot of content without featured images set.

Such a great plugin, I just wished I had a way to explain to less seasoned customers.
They can not wrap their heads around seeing images on their websites but understanding the images are residing elsewhere!
Thanks to the creator of this plugin for doing something useful.

So far, so good. Great Job, but your donation link don’t take us to any donation page.
A requested feature I’d like to add would be a Wiki Commons compatibility.
The user just point links like this and image is set as fetured AND the attribution is inserted as footnote into the post. (Attribution comes from the link USE THIS FILE) on right menu.
Thank you.

Works great right out of the gate. Every post that has an image, now has a featured image with no need to upload or add one manually. Brilliant.

The plugin author seems to have stopped replying to emails. I sent him one a few weeks ago and even offered to donate, but no reply. Pity as this was something I really needed and looked like a very clever idea.

This plugin looks like not compatible with Post Grid.
If a page or post has a Post Grid shortcode and Nelio External Featured Image working in same page or post, the internal links system break down.

If you’re looking for external featured image plugin, use Nelio External Featured Image. This is the best plugin ever, not just the plugin but the supports are also the best. Seriously this is the best. If i can, not only 5 stars, but all stars in the world I’ll give it just for this plugin ?? .

Using min-width/height and max-width/height in my CSS stylesheet made it work fine. Without it the image was distorted.
Many thanks for this very useful plugin.

even if it’s currently (1.3.1) limited to a fixed AR and might not be ideal SEO-wise – author seems motivated to improve and quick to fix bugs..
