Very insightful. Thanks again for your detailed help.

I have no idea what’s going wrong on my end.

I removed the code from the plugin and added the code to my themes functions.php and the shortcode still gets converted.

What the i does I’m not entirely sure. You can remove or add it to any of their addresses and every page still loads like they would otherwise.

eg:

https://i.imgur.com/a/s9CIv/all

https://i.imgur.com/yNf67Rt.png

Both instances get converted.

[wpws url=”https://i.imgur.com/a/zaNdd/all” query=”.posts”]
Becomes
[wpws url=”https://i.imgur.com/memegen/create/a/zaNdd/all” query=”.posts”]

[wpws url=”https://imgur.com/a/zaNdd/all” query=”.posts”]
Becomes
[wpws url=”https://imgur.com/memegen/create/a/zaNdd/all” query=”.posts”]

The shortcode still gets converted to

[wpws url="https://i.imgur.com/memegen/create/a/zaNdd/all" query=".posts"]

This is what the code looks like after your proposed edit:

add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'pm_add_memegen');
function pm_add_memegen( $data ) {
   $data['post_content'] = preg_replace('/(?<!\[wpws\surl="http:\/\/)imgur.com\/(?!memegen\/create)/', 'imgur.com/memegen/create/', $data['post_content']);
   return $data;
}

Thanks for the suggestion though ??

It worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!

Alright, thanks.

Hm, fair point.

Thanks!

Adapting the plugin is way out of my league. I only have a basic understanding of html/css/php.

I’m using php 5.2, for the same reason you gave. A lot of older scripts break when the server runs php7.

I’m afraid to use that script, as I have installed it 2 times, and everytime my whole WP install breaks and I get 500 errors.

There is also the regular WP Imgur plugin, which does work. I’ll take a look at it, maybe it will be adaptable.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I used a plugin to add the code you wrote, and it seems to work great.

Thanks again!

Wow, thanks for this detailed explanation.
I will try it out as soon as I can.

Edit:
After adding it to wp-includes/functions.php the entire wordpress broke and only returned 500 errors ??

After some reading up on preg_replace it indeed sounds like what I need.

But to be honest, I have no idea on how to implement it. My coding experiences don’t go beyond basic html and css.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though, much appreciated!

Thanks for the advice.

But there is a little problem with this method. When I paste in the correct URL https://imgur.com/memegen/create/ a placeholder image is displayed instead of the image that is being referred to. This is a “feature” of Imgur.

An example of this can be seen here: https://www.koffid.nl/mem/uncategorized/example/

The first image is the pasted link https://imgur.com/CySWUsw
The second image is pasted as https://imgur.com/memegen/create/CySWUsw

Both should look the same, but as you can see when I add memegen/create Imgur returns a placeholder image.

Ideally I want users to paste links like https://imgur.com/CySWUsw, have WP automatically generate a thumbnail and have it linked to https://imgur.com/memegen/create/CySWUsw without anyone having to manually edit the links afterwards.

I will look into ‘wp_insert_post_data’ filter to see if that will work for my needs.

Thanks!
