How to add Product Image via URL, and not via Media Library?

  • I have created an image folder for products, which I like the Product Image to display via URL. Unfortunately, the default setup of WooCommerce only allows the Product Image to be linked to an image that has been uploaded into the Media Library.

    Is there an available function that can be added into the active theme’s functions.php, which allows the Product Image to be linked via URL?

    Please advise. Thank you very much.

    I can’t find any, but I suppose this is possible. You’ll need to create a custom field on product pages where you can input the link – then you’ll need to hook into the WooCommerce image functions or override the product templates so they use your custom field url instead of the default product upload field.

    I found this but I’m unsure if the product image can be a link out of the media gallery.

    That’s a bit different. It’s for affiliate product links – not images.

    You need a way to declare the image link on the admin product page, and then you’ll need to pull that custom field/link and use it on the front-end.
