I just had a look at the code media_sideload_image(). It uses URL of an image to add an image to the Media Library. That’s why it doesn’t work in a password protected environment.

We need to use image path (instead of url) to add it to the Media Library. This way password protect won’t get into the way.

Google Programmatically adding images to media library. It may help us figure it out.

I will also look into this in my free time.

This code would open access to all image files on the Staging Server. They won’t be password protected anymore which defeats the purpose of password protecting the site.

There must be a way to add images to Media Library without opening access of the all image files.

Thank you! That solved the situation to some extent. Now the problem is that it shows events in ascending order. They should be displayed in descending order i.e. latest event should be on the top.
