Featured Image from URL 2

    Hi, team!

    I’m the developer of “Featured Image from URL” plugin. You should know that:
    https://wclovers.com/knowledgebase/wcfm-custom-fields/

    Well, FIFU is in the second version and some things have changed, so that’s not 100% compatible with WCFM anymore.

    FIFU still works with Custom Fields, so your tutorial is still correct, however now the plugin needs some metadata to work. And WCFM is removing that here:

    wc-frontend-manager/controllers/products-manager/wcfm-controller-products-manage.php
    Line 380:
    delete_post_thumbnail( $new_product_id );

    I just need WCFM doesn’t run the line above when the user is setting an external image URL. Would it be possible?

    After that I also will need to do some changes in FIFU. I intend to release that in 1 week. What do you think?

    Moreover, I would like to say that many FIFU users need to post from FrontEnd. They have used different plugins, but I think WCFM has a big advantage because works with Custom Fields.

    For now the solution has been to insert the image URL in the post content. Then FIFU read that, search for the image URL in the HTML code, and use that as the external featured image. That works fine, but that’s not easy to all users. So WCFM would be a better solution.

    Thanks, @wclovers!

    That condition is enough.

    I’ll be waiting for the update. Then I can announce the integration to the FIFU users.
