Great plugin but it seems to be not working with adding the following links:

    Always happy when the plugin helps someone.

    As for those links: if WordPress can’t grab them, they won’t be retrieved.

    When I click in, I get this:

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”iso-8859-1″?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
    “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221; xml:lang=”en” lang=”en”>
    <head>
    <title>403 – Forbidden</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>403 – Forbidden</h1>
    </body>
    </html>

    So it might have attempted to grab but failed.

    So clicking into them now works, but they seem to lack any parameters that actually register them as a file. I’ve seen this project when I attempted to import an image URL from Facebook. Since it is using WordPress native functions to download, I think that WordPress itself is not detecting it as a valid jpg, png, or gif file, and is unable to grab it.

    This is a rundown of the native download function from WordPress: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/download_url/

    These file extensions seem to work:
    jpg, gif, png, pdf, txt, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, wmv, mov, webm, avi, doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, html, csv, zip,

    As for files with signatures on them, you can try going into the plugin itself, the file uploadmediabyurl.php contains a function called download_url and adding a true to the end, but I did attempt this with a file that was private — but given an hour of public time and a signature attached — didn’t change things one way or another.

    So I will add this to the list of conflicts and I do not think this will be resolved, as it doesn’t seem to grab images without extensions nor images with a signature attached to them.

    I am marking this as a resolved issue, as I have determined the issues with file extensions and signature verifications, and made note of them in the readme.txt file.
