Featured Image with URL

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Simple and super practical. It’s a must plugin in my sites.Easy setting, no bloat. I wish there’s a “import all featured image url from fifu” so I can get rid of that bloated plugin.

   I want to let you know that it is the perfect plugin for remote images. The solution if you are using WP All Import and you get the images from lets say {photos/photo} (this returns all the images separated by comma), is to create two functions that creates the serialized data to use it in custom fields: function get_featured_image($photos) {if (empty($photos)) return 'NO_PHOTOS';if (!is_array($photos)) { $photos = explode(',', $photos);}$first = trim($photos[0]);return serialize([ 'img_url' => $first, 'width' => '', 'height' => '']);}function get_gallery_images($photos) {if (empty($photos)) return '';if (!is_array($photos)) { $photos = explode(',', $photos);}if (count($photos) < 2) return '';$gallery = [];for ($i = 1; $i < count($photos); $i++) { $url = trim($photos[$i]); $gallery[] = [ 'url' => $url, 'width' => '', 'height' => '' ];}return serialize($gallery);} Then you just create a custom field for the featured image with name “_harikrutfiwu_url” and value: [get_featured_image({photos/photo})] And a custom field for gallery images with name “_harikrutfiwu_wcgallary” and value: [get_gallery_images({photos/photo})] That’s all. Happy Import with this amazing plugin.

   I rarely give reviews but this plugin is my lifesaver and it’s hard not to recommend it. I’m using it for couple of months now and it works perfectly on older and newer vesions of WordPress. Simple, no 200 pages of settings, just install and use. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is Yoast SEO’s social media image preview which worked with older version of WordPress but doesn’t work with the latest, sadly. Other than this little thing, it’s simple, small and working well plugin.

   So i have been breaking my head against the internet looking for a simple plugin that could allow me to use featured images and gallery images from the url. And voila, i see featured images with URl. It is perhaps new, so there are only 60+ installations, hope it can reach more people. Can’t appreciate enough! It is a good no fuss plugin. Sometimes the best solutions in life are the simplest ones. Thanks to the creators. Fab job you people! May you have many more installations.
