Hi, I am very new to doing anything web related, but I know I will save a lot of time by uploading images via URL… so I downloaded this plugin. When I go to the media library, the button appears, but when I click it, nothing happens.. I am just wondering if you can help me get it to work? Thank you so much in advance

I got some bugs in the debug log when using the plugin, see below. The plugin does not work for me:

PHP Warning:? Attempt to read property “” on null in…../public_html/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/uploadmediabyurl.php on line 109

Row 109 looks like this:

$results = media_handle_sideload( $file, $post->$id, NULL, array( 'test_size' => false ) ); 

PHP Warning:? Undefined variable $post_type in …../public_html/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/uploadmediabyurl.php on line 129

Row 129 looks like this:

 if ( $post_type == 'shop_order' ) return; // fix issue of plugin being loaded on WooCommerce pages

Hello
Thank you for this plugin, but i noticed that when activating Woocommerce the button (Upload by URL) in media library stop responding.
Best regards

Your plugin attaches to the admin_footer_text filter like it’s an action, and returns nothing (null), clearing the existing content. This can cause other plugins that expect a string to throw a type error. There is a better action hook that fires after the footer.

Here’s the patch. It also fixes a few things with the uploader: later permission check; close & cancel buttons not reloading page; and better input parsing.

After pasting the links, a blank pop-up for pasting them reappears again. When I click Cancel, nothing is added to the library.

i use the plugin in two websites, but only one working. A website not working. I debugged and it show error
” Undefined variable: post_type in /home/kbegipmshosting/public_html/petto.vn/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/uploadmediabyurl.php on line 105″
I hided this line, but it not working.
I compared two website. the website not working don’t have hidden code “modalDialog”

I was having the same issue as others where the “Upload by URL” button isn’t working at all. I dug through the plugin and found this…

if( function_exists("is_shop") ) {
    return;
}

So you are disabling it from outputting the dialog box if Woocommerce is activated?

When I first installed the plugin I got a javascript error message so I deactivated all other plugins and now the upload by URL section goes all the way to the pop-up, I enter the URL and when I press submit everything is cleared and the pop-up box is empty and does nothing.

Hello Sir,
I have Installed “Enhanced Media Library” Plugin For Uploading APK file. And I have installed Your Plugin To Upload The APK remotely by Direct Download link of the apk. But After Installing That “Enhanced Media Library” Plugin, The “Upload By URL” Button Doesn’t Work. Please Help Me??

Hi,
After clicking on upload by url button, The page for url entry is not opening.
https://kwikgcom.wpcomstaging.com/wp-admin/upload.php#openUMBU

I’ve been getting an error message “Error: Invalid Link” when trying to upload media. My website uses latest WP on PHP 7.4. My host is Hostgator.

Back when my host supported PHP versions below 7.0, this plugin worked properly. It only started to throw the “Invalid Link” error when I upgraded my site to PHP 7.x. Since I wanted to use the latest PHP, I gave up on using the plugin.

I tested this at the time by switching back to the older PHP and noting that uploads worked again. (I think the older PHP version was 5.6)

Recently, I reinstalled your plugin to see if the problem had been corrected, and unfortunately it still produces “Invalid Link” error messages.

Hi, this is the error:

[01-Feb-2021 19:12:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Using $this when not in object context in /Users/usernameSites/website/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/inc/umbumedia.php:97

It’s a static method and should be self::umbu_mediaButtonScript() instead of $this->umbu_mediaButtonScript()

modal did not load in mobile
that is because

#wpfooter {

display: none;

}

in wp-admin/load-styles.php

hi
can i upload via this plug
a virtual tour – by html
i have the video in html

Howdy ?? + first of all : thank you very much for providing this plugin. It works rather fine; but there’s one teensy issue I fail to understand which, perhaps, you can help me with:

When testing it, it attached the pulled-in image to the very first post on my testing environment (the infamous “Hello World” post all WP installs get).

I did not find where to change the default permapath, nor was I able to change the superfluous bit from the URL (it was in the non-editable part) or to detach the media library entry from its association with the post.

Do you perhaps have an idea how to mend this? ’cause I would love to use it, otherwise it seems to be exactly what I need/ed.

Much appreciated. + Best regards; eLeX

Hi,

First of all, I would like to pay my respect to your plugin, it’s amazing!

I found out that these links are not uploading (and it’s PNG so it should work):

BTW, Because the link was long I have changed the Div size to 100% so the link will fit one line.

Can it be solved?

Thanks.

unfortunately does not work when https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/filebird/ is activated ??

When I activate this plugin with woo commerce. The add new product page js fails, editor doesn’t show as well the other js functionalities.

The console however doesn’t show any error. Could you confirm if this plugin has any issue with woocommerce?

I found a bug where when uploading with multiple links, the filenames and images are separated and you can only upload one.
Version 5.5.1.

*With only one link, I was able to upload it successfully.

I hope you will check it out.
Thank you.

Hi,

This is a great tool!

Two quick questions please:

1. I am also hoping to be able to download PDFs from a URL into WP’s Media Library, but it doesn’t seem to work. I tried to input a URL to a PDF and submitted the form, no errors reported but the Media Library doesn’t show the PDF (even after refreshing WP admin). Is there a way to allow PDF import?

2. Looks like if if I try to import the same image twice, then the second one also goes through with a -number added to the filename, is there a way to prevent duplicate imports?

thanks,
Steve

Hello,

I use Divi. There you will find the selection item Project. If I want to create a new project, a white screen appears and in the errorlog it says

AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class name must be a valid object or a string in /var/www/vhosts/lms.schule.de/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/inc/umbumedia.php

Obviously there is a connection to the plugin. If I deactivate the plugin, I can create the project.

I use WordPress in the multisite configuration and in version 5.5.1 with php 5.3.22

Just a heads up that it looks like there’s a conflict with Advanced Custom Fields plugin. ACF image selectors & TinyMCE instances don’t seem to want to load when this plugin is enabled.

Featured image menu upload by url icon not present in post edit, logged in by contributor.but in the case admin icon is present.

I just installed it. Running PHP 7.3.18. It allows me to enter a URL and submit but does not create the media. There is nothing new in wp-content/uploads/2020/06.

I was getting a 500 error in Chrome on the backend of my site that prevented me from clicking some admin links.

Investigating the server logs I found:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Using $this when not in object context in …/wp-content/plugins/upload-media-by-url/inc/umbumedia.php:97
Stack trace:
#0 …/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): umbu_CustomMediaUI::umbu_mediaButton(”)
#1 …/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(311): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array)
#2 …/wp-includes/plugin.php(478): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)
#3 …/wp-includes/media-template.php(279): do_action(‘post-plupload-u…’)
etc

Looking at umbumedia.php:97 there’s a static function that’s calling another static function but using $this->umbu_mediaButtonScript()

I think that needs to be changed to self::umbu_mediaButtonScript();

When I changed that my error went away and I could click on my admin actions again.

(Thank you for this plugin – major timesaver when moving content between sites)
