Hi Milan,
The plugin works for me (it found hotlinked images form archive.org on my site), but unfortunately, it does not find & replace Vimeo preview images, that are linked inline as background images:
style="background-image: url("https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1234..."
Is there a way to get hold of them, too, or is there another plugin that could do that?
Cheers, -martin
]]>hello,
cache images is not caching images from anything linked to https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ or its variants https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/
https://lh2.googleusercontent.com/
etc.
is this fixable?
also i noticed the same for amazon CDN images…
]]>Whenever I am activating on my blog [ redundant link deleted ] I am getting php fatal error , Can you please look on this, I have not changed anything yet untill you tell me the solution.
Sometime do not fetch the external images too.
I am waiting for you so that I can make my site live.
Is there any chance of seeing an update for this? Namely that it fails to fetch images with a space in their name. Other than that it’s worked great.
]]>This plugin seems to have stopped working but was a god send to me and I install it on every site however lately it is not working well at all, bulk checking blinks quickly but doesnt check.. Please Update it Dev..
]]>Even though this plug-in is old and unsupported I just want to say THANK YOU! It saved my butt and worked perfectly as advertised.
]]>The plugin is detecting the images to cache and displays the message reading posts. After a couple of minutes nothing happens and the message changes to 504 error?
]]>I’ve used this plug-in several times before and it has always worked wonderfully, but I am trying to use it on a new server and have hit a wall.
When importing images, I keep getting “error1”. I changed the plug-in to echo the actual WordPress error, and this is what I am seeing:
“Last cached picture: Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /[path_to_blog]/wp-content/plugins/cache-images/cache-images.php on line 478”
Did some googling and can’t find any examples of this plug-in causing this error.
What could be causing this?
]]>Hi, has anyone successfully used this to cache images from Photobucket? I’m a web designer transferring an existing blog to WordPress for a client. We need the images cached by WordPress because the design includes post thumbnails. Unfortunately, my client hosted most of her images with Photobucket and I can’t get those photos to cache. The plugin worked perfectly for the photos hosted elsewhere, but I get an “Error 500” whenever I try to cache the 3,000 or so Photobucket images. I can view each image in the browser and download them individually, so I’m not sure what the problem is. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I really need some help with this.
Thanks!
Bryan
Is there any way of generating a list of all the images that the plugin tried to import but was unable to?
Because most of the images are coming from my old web server, I am actually able to track down the images if I have a list to begin with.
Also:
Is there any way to throttle the cache image plugin to slow it down a little?
I’m importing my forums into WordPress which included photopost with approx 100k images, This is going to max my server out for days, where I’d rather have it look for an image much slower and taking longer to complete so that my server is usable during this process.
]]>I’ve run this plugin several times before, so I know it works – but on my current Blogger to WordPress import, some of the images aren’t being cached. The caching appears to progress normally, but the files aren’t actually being imported. All are JPG files.
Based on another support thread, I tried installing W3 Total Cache and using the import feature under CDN. That plugin said, “File Type Rejected” for each of those JPG files. It looks like this:
https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dpzWlq0_W8Q/Sav1P3zu8DI/AAAAAAAAASg/19Mw1KLKAoQ/s1600-h/P1070916.JPG File type rejected
What’s happening?
]]>In some cases blogger issues 301 redirects to the images. I’ve found out that they are problematic for this plugin. example:

]]>Hi all. Had pretty bitter experience with this plugin. Pictures originally with spaces were grabbed to the server with %20 instead of them as well as %20 in HTML code in pages. And obviously as a result they did not display. Since there were quite a few of those images I had to restore the database. Now I’ll have to figure out how to clean up the chaos in wp-content/uploads folder. But my main concern in the end is is there a reliable tool [or way] to grab those external images? I got really disappointed when I saw the outcome and had to roll back ?? I would also appreciate any suggestions on how to clean up the uploads folder in the meantime. Thank you.
]]>the links in the posts wasn’t updated to the new location. The imported images won’t be associated to the posts. Nice plugin anyway. I hope it will be revised for 3.4 or the latest.
]]>Great Plugin! I’m using it on my site to cache remote images. But can you guys add a new feature, cron job for it? automatically scheduled cache images.
]]>Sometime is works and sometime it doesnt.
Im getting this error in Firefox.

Hi,
I’d been getting PHP ‘notices’ to the effect of:
“Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3466”
This message was frustrating as it seemed to interfering with modification of the headers.
ie. After pressing ‘save’ on the ‘Edit User’ page, I was presented with the previous notice, plus the following warning:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php:3466) in /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934
And the rest of the page content was not displayed.
So after a bit of searching I found that in cache-images.php, line 86, the function call ‘add_management_page’ contained the argument that is deprecated.
I changed it from:
add_management_page( __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), 8, __FILE__, 'mm_ci_manage_page' );
to
add_management_page( __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), 'activate_plugins', __FILE__, 'mm_ci_manage_page' );
Now the notice is gone, and the headers are not modified.
The question is; is this the correct fix?
Also, is the capability level of ‘activate_plugins’ a suitable one?
Thanks,
Anton
We have a MySQL database where the image urls are stored in the post_meta tables rather than the posts table.
We have tried amending the plugin but haven’t been able to get it to work.
here is the original code:
$postid_list = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_content LIKE (‘%<img%’) AND post_content LIKE (‘%$domain%’)”);
Our code:
$postid_list = “
SELECT $wpdb->posts.* FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->postmeta WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = ‘image’ AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value LIKE (‘%jpg%’) “;
Has anybody got any better ideas than this?

]]>When caching files that have a URL-encoded character in their path, such as %20 for space, the literal filename on disk remains URL-encoded, so when the post gets updated, the img src is wrong.
For example, if an image links to “Foo%20bar.jpg”, the file is downloaded as “Foo%20bar.jpg” instead of “Foo bar.jpg”. I was able to quickly script something to move the files that had been named incorrectly, but definitely still a bug with the plugin.
]]>HI – as I said – I’m importaing a load of images – but it doesn;t neem to be changing the posts to update the links?
The files are importing from blogger – so are pretty dynamic, anyone else experienced this?
]]>Hi,
I love this plugin, and its been a huge help in a massive import I did from blogger. After using “Scan (including linked)” some of the generated html is not quite right. For example:
<a href="https://www.mbird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/psycho_blanket.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 251px;" src="https://www.mbird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/psycho_blanket1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306768463834252178" border="0"></a>
Other times there is an additional 2 before the extension. Other times there is a 21.
As you can see, the href and src don’t agree. The href is right. Has this bug been encountered before? Suggestions for how to fix?
Great plugin, just what I need.
One question though, does this also create thumbnails of the images?
I am trying to display featured posts on my homepage and also display the first image, but at the moment the image is being resized therefore looks a little squashed, I;m not sure how to go about cropping it so it would be useful if this plugin also created thumbnails that I could use.
Thanks
]]>Hi
I got error : File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini., referer: https://localhost/wp4/wp-admin/tools.php?page=cache-images/cache-images.php in error.log when I try post new article. I checked to upload file in media and it works. What happen ? Please help me.
Thanks.
]]>After hitting Scan on Tools > Cache Remote Images, the plugin finds and reports several images from several domains. Then I click the Cache from this domain buttons after each of them and it reports the images are being cached (and then …done.) All looks to be going well… but when I go and check the Media library, nothing new has been imported. Nor have any image URLs been altered in any posts.
I should mention I am on a Multi-site install. There are no errors in my server logs. But the image URLs do not end in .jpg or .gif or anything. They are Typepad stored images that come in the form of: https://ardeche.blogs.com/.a/6a00d8345436ba69e201116905be68970c-800wi
Could that be the problem?
Thanks for any thoughts ??
]]>hello, author. Can you add a feature that can prevent some domain to be auto cache?
]]>Hi All !
I’m trying to make this plugin work.
after installing, nothing happens when I hit “Scan” nore “Sacan (including link)” .
Can you help,
Thank you for your time.
