Only image files are supported currently.

Can you paste the image URL here?

Recently I also received a feedback from another user of Elementor, saying that my plugin does not work with Elementor: https://github.com/zzxiang/external-media-without-import/issues/17

If the image URL contains a & character, indeed there will be a problem since & is converted to & by WordPress core before the attachment record is saved into database.

I’m working on this issue.

Actually there’re also other plugins encountering the same issue. Maybe it’s a issue of WordPress core.

Yes. I saw your comment on github site.

It is the first time that I heard about multisite network and such a URL as https://xxx/https://yyy.jpg. May I get a real world example to investigate the issue?

I’ve just updated my personal site to WP 5.0.2 and done some tests. Seems that the plugin works with WP 5.0.2 and Getenber with no problems.

Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve just released version 1.1.2 to fix this issue.

Thanks for you suggestion, @motorsportdiesel. I’ll take time to look into it.

Yes. I’ll keep updating my plugin and try my best to make it work with the latest versions of WordPress and other plugins. However, I have to say sorry in advance because I can just work on it in my very limited spare time, and the update may not be in time.

Thanks for the feedback.

It is indeed that medias with URLs like https://demo.filerun.co/wl/?id=2ZRkfEFAkOLTyMYuZqrKfHDBNWXWMOzD cannot be correctly added because the plugin hasn’t yet been integrated with any SDK of third-party platforms such as Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.

The media URL needs to be a “direct” link to the media, which means the URL ends with media filename extensions such as jpg, mp4, etc. That’s why URLs like https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4 can be correctly added.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe you can search for plugins which dedicated to the connections between WordPress and platforms like FileRun.

The latest version of EMwI still works on my local site. I wonder the issue of the plugin update you met with is because of the browser cache. When I developed and installed the plugin update on my local site, I once indeed found that the user interface of the updated plugin became a mess and the plugin didn’t work anymore. But clearing the cache of my browser resolved that issue.

Thanks for your video which shows the issue clearly. I’ve also reproduce the issue on my local site. Seems that quite a few users have met with the same issue, so I’ll investigate the issue whenever I have time to work on this plugin from now on. Sorry to keep you waiting.

交流群还真是没有。现在都是在这里或是github上收取反馈。

好的。我抽时间看看。不过最近我得先找时间看一下跟 WooCommerce 插件兼容的问题，因为有挺多人反映的。

Thanks for the feedback. Let me work on the problem of the recent update first. Can you paste some of the image URLs which don’t work in the latest version but work in previous versions?

Just checked WP All Import. It’s really a great plugin. I see that it has a feature which can import images from URLs. However, it downloads the images to your website instead of just creating a link to the image URLs.

So I guess what you want is that adding an option to WP All Import to just create image links when importing images from URLs?

It may beyond my ability to communicate with the author of WP All Import to add that feature. But maybe I can add some simple feature to import image URLs from files like CSV? Not sure whether it is what you want.
