Much obliged. With wiki, due to the depth and nature of the content, there may not even be a need to make such a preview.

All good and thank you again very much for your engagement. Realizing your time is valuable just because you asked here is one such link I mentioned above: https://pastebin.com/vLuL75gT
Not a big deal really.

You are right – it works in the majority of cases. The few instances I encountered (and was focused on) were a few school and kindergarten websites which I believe use older html versions and were malformed to begin with. Thank you for testing anyway. With the exception of en.wikipedia.org (which has some unique image path structure) it works well with all types of urls.

Genius! It works well – a great addition to the original code indeed – thank you.

Thank you very much imath for your reply. So there is hope after all! Brilliant plugin.

Apologies for my vague question. Let me explain what I intend to achieve and perhaps you may consider this as an enhancement for a future release:

Most websites have posts and use categories and tags to organize the site and some have custom post types which may have their own taxonomies or may use an existing taxonomy (e.g. via register taxonomy for object type). This way one does not need to recreate same or similar taxonomy terms for each post type.
As IdeaStream is also a post type it could benefit from the same sort of flexibility i.e. “tap” into an existing taxonomy. But it seems, as things stand, one needs to recreate whole sets of categories and tags just for the “ideas” part of a website – and this makes Ideas an island into itself (disconnected from posts and pages and other CPTs). Would’t it be more powerful to be able to leverage existing taxonomies within IdeaStream?

For example if one would be able to choose a term from the standard post category for an “idea”, posts that are using the same term are somehow “connected” to the idea i.e. the category archive can show both the posts and ideas – this makes more powerful relationships within a site.

Since IdeaStream currently does not, through its UI, support existing custom taxonomies (it uses its own), I wonder if there is a hook or filter to enable it programatically without changing the core files. Thank you.

Yes this version does the trick! When the data is available the image related fields are now imported as https. epubacsTokenLink and pdfdownloadlink however are still imported as http but those shouldn’t matter I guess. Thank you very much for taking the time to investigate and providing the fix.

Thank you for following up and for the enhancements in the recent release.

On an SSL site all the resources that link to a url import http into the relevant custom field instead of https. These are infoLink, previewLink, webReaderLink and all the thumbnails) I had so far manually changing them to either // or https so that the seal does not break (e.g. retrieved image from largeImage custom field). Any help resolving this is much appreciated.

On a positive note I see that version 1.2 now allows featured image to be saved as .png in the local media library. This alleviates the ssl issue above for displaying book covers for now but appreciate looking into the above issue nevertheless.

Thank you Chris for the update. This version works great – all notices gone! Appreciate your continuous support and active engagement with the wp community.

Thank you Chris. I put this version on a fresh installation of WP 4.3 on the same server. Upon activation received the following and cannot proceed any further.

Trust it means something you can work with – I have no clue what it means.
