more smartness needed

Hi, John. How are you doing?

but in many cases that is not the actual image address
Could you list the cases, please?

and mostly image urls contains description codes for size or other things, need to be cleaned
I will try to simulate that.

I think it would be better to define image MIME Types (e.g. *.jpg) as a base to find a real url
Sometimes the addresses have no extension. So it wouldn’t work 100%.

the plugin rewrites the url with some erroneous repetitive parts
Give me an example, please.

For example this address was taken as featured image url:
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/reviews/2019-ram-heavy-duty-review/
instead of this:
https://cnet1.cbsistatic.com/img/c1Ms2fBTARfvGjWF-SY4zcx8bmU=/1092×0/2019/05/01/e0cdd0f7-a37a-4e7b-8015-b15b32f2295c/rm019-087hdtvj8o5d8snei1uubj00r844fmm.jpg
from mentioned post.

and the internal image address as a default featured:
…/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/sample.jpg
was changed to this:
…/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/sites/5/2019/sample.jpg

Just another example, take a look at below post:
https://www.citylab.com/newsletter-editions/2019/05/maplab-where-us-housing-costs-hurt-most/588535/

the first image url is:
https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/posts/2019/05/bd9f5dae2/6d8bad752.png

but strangely it’s unknown or not recognizable for the plugin.

Please send me all the HTML code I need to simulate your problem, not only the URLs.

Easily use “view-source:” or CTRL+U to open source html code in Chrome or FireFox browser.

I don’t need all the code, John. I need only the post content.

You can easily copy that in the post editor.

Thanks.
