    Brilliant idea for a plug-in. I love being able to skip the step of downloading the image to my hard drive first before I post it.

    The only downside it’s not working with images from Facebook.

    I’m not sure if it’s because of the URL string is long (147 characters) and complicated (full of ampersands and question marks and other punctuation) or if Facebook is somehow blocking the image from being downloaded.

    But other than for FB pics, highly recommended!

    I tried a different plugin called “External Media” and it accepts Facebook formatted URLs so it is probably just a matter of the complicated formatting of their URLs that begin with: https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-…

    I am resolving this for good order, actually that plugin you mention is no more effective than mine at this task. The issue is that facebook cdn urls expire, so it is hit and miss if they work when you try to access them.

    Sorry, I did not mean to disrespect your product. Only sharing my experience to help other users who might be in the same predicament.

    Your plug-in is great and just what I was looking for. Thank you for contributing this much-needed feature to the WordPress community.
