The plugin automatically replaces external URLs in the content with local media URLs, shows a live progress view, supports any image host, and updates featured images where needed. Ideal for: – site migrations – pasted content from other sources – cleaning up hotlinked images – processing many posts in one go with the bulk importer Full documentation available here: [Replace External Images Docs](https://hansandfriends.de/docs/replace-external-images/) ## Àwọn àwòrán ìbòjú [⌊A post with an externally hosted image.

No — it only imports external images and skips media already in the library. ### What happens to the image URLs? They are updated to local media paths after import. ### Can I undo the import? Not automatically. Please make a backup before running the importer if you need to restore content later. ### What happens with protected or blocked images? Some image sources actively block hotlinking or automated downloads by returning a different content type (e.g. `text/plain` instead of `image/jpeg`). This plugin detects such cases and skips the import gracefully — no image is saved, and the log explains why. ### What if the post doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t have a featured image? If a post has no featured image, the plugin will automatically set the **first successfully imported image** as the featured image. ## Àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò Kò sí àwọn àgbéyẹ̀wò fún plugin yìí. ## Àwọn Olùkópa & Olùgbéejáde “Replace External Images” jẹ́ ètò ìṣàmúlò orísun ṣíṣí sílẹ̀.
