Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Import external attachments

The plugin examines the HTML source of your post when you save it, inspecting each IMG tag, and processing them according to the options you have selected. Under the default settings, it will find IMG tags with links to images on other web sites and copy those images to your web site, updating the IMG src to point to your copy. PDF functionality was added by bengreeley.

Yes! It was developed and built (and is used everyday) at PhotographyBlogSites.com - a multisite install.

You can make it ignore any domain you want on the settings page, in case you work with a CDN or photo hosting site and want to keep those images where they are.
