LH Add Media From Url

It does not work when the URL contains spaces. Luckily I can change the URL so I can workaround the issue, but it would be much better if it worked out of the box with any valid URL. Five stars if you fix it.



It nearly works

Upload files from an url to wordpress media library, either enter file urls in an onsite input box or click a bookmarklet.

<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This" rel="nofollow ugc">Press This</a> is neat, but wouldn’t it be a lot neater if you had access to all the functionality you have on the normal post editing screen?
With this plugin, you will have access to all the meta boxes, not just Categories and Tags.
Also, plain URLs are inserted in the post content, letting the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds" rel="nofollow ugc">Embeds</a> feature do the rest.
Important: After activating the plugin, you will have to re-add the bookmarklet, from WP Admin -> Tools.
