Auto Upload Images

I came across this plugin via a tutorial on WP Beginner on how to import non-local images.

I was struggling with this as I needed to copy Block Editor content from one site to another. However, when you do this, the images still reference the old site.

With this plugin, you install it, and simply "update" the post. I recommend doing this from the bulk-edit screen. Just do a "Quick Edit" and update.

Like magic, all the non-local images in the post are brought over into the media library and your post is updated with the correct local links.

This is such a huge time-saver because I could not find a "native" way to do this, and it would've resulted in me having to basically download and re-upload the images.

Kudos to the plugin author. This plugin is fantastic. And for those wondering, it still works with WordPress 6.0.

This plugin is an amazing time-saver


Does one thing and does it well, great plugin


Great plugin

goood


After doing a long import of entries, it updates the images without any problem.


Still works perfect


The plugin still works as at Feb 17, 2025 and please do not leave it ACTIVE while doing XML import either via CLI or wp import plugin, except that is what you want.

Automatically detect external images in the post content and import images to your site then adding to the media library and replace image urls.

<p>This plugin will automatically rename any media files you upload to the Media Library, by adding a prefix to the beginning of the filename based on the filetype.</p>
<p>For example, you can tell it to add the prefix “pic-” to the beginning of all .jpg files that you upload. So uploading an image called car.jpg would get renamed to pic-car.jpg</p>
<p>And since it changes the name of the file, it will also change the “slug” that wordpress uses based on this new name.</p>
<p>You can set an individual/unique prefix for each of the following filetypes:<br />
jpg jpeg png bmp gif tif mp4 avi m4v mov flv mkv 3gp pdf doc docx xls xlsx ppt pptx mp3 ogg wav zip csv txt rtf odt</p>
<p>You will need to go to the settings page and set the prefix you want to use for each of the filetypes.</p>
<p>The default behavior is that it will NOT rename any uploaded files until you have set the prefix on the settings page.</p>
