<p>A plugin for allowing users to set a custom header on a per-post basis. This plugin hooks into the WordPress <code>custom-header</code> theme feature and overwrites the values on single post views if the post has been given a custom header.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<p>This plugin creates a custom meta box on the edit post screen. From that point, you can select a custom header image.  You can also select whether to display your header text and its color if your theme supports that option.  The options you choose will be shown on the single post page on the front end.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Your theme must support the core WordPress implementation of the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers" rel="nofollow ugc">Custom Headers</a> theme feature.</p>
<h3>Professional Support</h3>
<p>If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access the support forums at <a href="http://themehybrid.com/support" rel="nofollow ugc">Theme Hybrid</a>, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 40,000+ users (and growing).</p>

<p>This plugin was created to make easier the life of people that want to get pictures, images, photos from the web, rather than download your image on your computer and, then, upload it in your media library, you can paste the image url in the field and get it from the web straight in your media library. Afterword you can click to set the post thumbnail and you will find the aquired image in your media library, ready to be inserted in your post.</p>
<p>This plugin is a simple box, activate the plugin, follow the settings link, activate the option to see the new form in the post thumbnail metabox in the post edit page and it’s done!</p>
<p>I created this plugin mainly for me, when I was creating websites I incurred the need to quickly grab some of my photos from another website ands that was the reason of this idea, it is something like creating a tunnel from one site to another to transfer images.</p>
