## تفصیل

“Replace External Images” lets you import externally hosted images used in post 
content directly into your WordPress media library — either one by one or now with
the new bulk import feature across multiple posts at once.

The plugin automatically replaces external URLs in the content with local media 
URLs, shows a live progress view, supports any image host, and updates featured 
images where needed.

Ideal for:
 – site migrations – pasted content from other sources – cleaning up 
hotlinked images – processing many posts in one go with the bulk importer

Full documentation available here: [Replace External Images Docs](https://hansandfriends.de/docs/replace-external-images/)

## اسکرین شاٹس

 * [[
 * A post with an externally hosted image. The "Replace External Images” panel appears
   in the editor sidebar. One click imports the image into the media library and
   updates the post to use the local version.
 * [[
 * Successful import confirmation with summary and return link.
 * [[
 * Works in both Classic Editor and Gutenberg, including multi-image posts.
 * [[
 * Respecting protected content — import fails cleanly for non-image or restricted
   resources.
 * [[

## انسٹالیشن

 1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
 2. Navigate to “Plugins > Add New”.

Alternatively:

 1. Download the plugin as a ZIP file.
 2. Go to “Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin”.

Once activated:

 * Open a post that contains externally linked images.

 * Watch the live progress bar and wait for completion.

## عمومی سوالات

### Does it overwrite existing media?

No — it only imports external images and skips media already in the library.

### What happens to the image URLs?

They are updated to local media paths after import.

### Can I undo the import?

Not automatically. Please make a backup before running the importer if you need 
to restore content later.

### What happens with protected or blocked images?

Some image sources actively block hotlinking or automated downloads by returning
a different content type (e.g. `text/plain` instead of `image/jpeg`).
 This plugin
detects such cases and skips the import gracefully — no image is saved, and the 
log explains why.

### What if the post doesn’t have a featured image?

If a post has no featured image, the plugin will automatically set the **first successfully
imported image** as the featured image.
