I noticed this no longer works in 4.1. I assume it is no longer being updated since the last update was in early 2014.
]]>hi,
There is not any way to save the image in the Media library of my wordpress.
Greetings.
]]>I a using Ebuy theme i tried your plugin but it doesn’t pick featured image. please help.
Them download link: [ link redacted ]
]]>I use the plugin almost in all of my sites and it’s work great! Just i want to do some to can work more fast and easy with the plugin. I work mostley with youtube videos and the url where i want to grab a image is almost the same. Something like this:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/OYEDmb33Ncc/0.jpg
Please, can you tell me, how to that i want to add only youtube id in the box, not all url:
And when i put the ID of the youtube video automatically to do this:
when i put in the plugin text box <only change this one ID>
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<only change this one ID>/0.jpg
That’s it! Thanks!
]]>This works great but it would be great if there was a way to use this plugin to grab the image from a url that is already in a custom field. The reason I ask is that I have changed themes and in the old theme I did not set the featured image, instead I had a custom field that had an image url from flickr. If your plugin could grab the image from a custom field and download it to the media library it would save me a lot of time. Right now I am going through each post and copy and pasting the url into your plugin field.
]]>hi,
First of all thank you very much for this awesome usefull plugin. ??
…………………………………
Actually i am using Cloudinary Plugin to Store my media files to Cloud to save my Bandwidth.
so this plugin directly save image to media library and attach it as Featured Image. but I want to save my images to cloud.
so there is any way to upload images directly to Cloudinary and use it as featured image.
…………………………
Please you update this plugin so it will be comfortable with Cloudinary. ??
Thank You.
Just tried your plugin and when I added the link in the field and updated the post, the link wasn’t saved. Am I missing something? The website is https://fragablog.com
]]>Pasting URL into form and tabbing away or updating doesn’t get image nor set featured image.
]]>hi, when i click add new post it’s get this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_get_file_contents() in /home/microsof/public_html/domfoolye.com/wp-content/plugins/featured-image-via-url/featured-image-via-url.php on line 106
You can edit the file name.
33394_the_car_12.jpg to the_car.jpg (rewrite only name)
Tanks.
]]>when using your plugin, the featured image displays in the post and as thumbnail.
is it possible to link from the image in the post back to the external source url?
If so, how?
thanks for any help you can provide.
Paul
]]>Your plugin works just fine – thanks.
I want to know if it is possible to have featured images displayed (and thumbnails) via an external url WITHOUT uploading to the WP Media Gallery?
We have a separate image repository and don’t want to double up by uploading to WP as well.
I’ve found a plugin that will display an external url as featured image in a post, but not as thumbnail.
Is this possible? Can your plugin be modified to handle it?
thanks for your guidance on this question.
Paul
]]>Sir,
This plugin works for “posts” but not “pages”.
Please advise
]]>Hi, I use WP 3.6 RC1 and plugin don’t Work: blank page after publish or update post.

]]>Hi, Can I use to set featured image of post-links? This means that the plugin must select and upload a image from the link or take a screenshot of the link. Thanks
