<p>MediaFlock scans your WordPress posts for externally hosted media files and imports them directly into your WordPress media library. After import, it automatically replaces the old external URLs in your post content with the new local URLs, ensuring all your media is served from your own site.</p>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>The plugin uses five complementary URL extraction strategies to find external files in your content:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Regex pattern matching</strong> — Scans raw post content for URLs matching configured file extensions.</li>
<li><strong>HTML anchor tag parsing</strong> — Extracts URLs from <code><a href></code> links pointing to external files.</li>
<li><strong>Media tag parsing</strong> — Finds external sources in <code><img></code>, <code><video></code>, <code><audio></code>, and <code><source></code> elements.</li>
<li><strong>Srcset attribute parsing</strong> — Detects external images referenced in responsive <code>srcset</code> attributes on <code><img></code> and <code><source></code> tags.</li>
<li><strong>CSS background-image parsing</strong> — Extracts URLs from <code>background-image: url(...)</code> declarations in inline styles and <code><style></code> blocks.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Batch scanning</strong> — Processes posts in configurable batches (10-200 per request) to handle sites of any size.</li>
<li><strong>Dry run mode</strong> — Check file sizes via HEAD requests before committing to an import.</li>
<li><strong>Duplicate prevention</strong> — Already-imported files are detected and skipped automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Dead link detection</strong> — URLs that returned errors on previous attempts are tracked and auto-skipped.</li>
<li><strong>Resume interrupted scans</strong> — If a scan is interrupted (browser closed, timeout), resume exactly where you left off.</li>
<li><strong>Progress tracking</strong> — Real-time progress bars for scanning, importing, and dry runs.</li>
<li><strong>Import logs</strong> — Every import attempt is logged with status (success, error, skipped), timestamps, and details.</li>
<li><strong>CSV export</strong> — Download filtered logs as CSV for offline analysis or reporting.</li>
<li><strong>Retry failed imports</strong> — One-click retry of all previously failed imports.</li>
<li><strong>Dashboard statistics</strong> — Overview of total imports, success/error/skipped counts, disk space used, and top errors.</li>
<li><strong>Configurable file types</strong> — Choose which file extensions to scan for using a Select2 tagging interface.</li>
<li><strong>Multiple URL filters</strong> — Restrict scanning to specific external servers by adding one or more base URLs.</li>
<li><strong>Post type and status filters</strong> — Target specific post types and statuses (publish, draft, pending, private, future).</li>
<li><strong>Quick Scan</strong> — Spot-check a single post by entering its ID or URL.</li>
<li><strong>Permission levels</strong> — Restrict plugin access to administrators only or open it to editors and above.</li>
<li><strong>Internationalization</strong> — Fully translatable with English and Georgian (ka_GE) translations included.</li>
<li><strong>Clean uninstall</strong> — Removes all database tables and options when deleted.</li>
</ul>
<h4>URL Replacement</h4>
<p>After importing a file, the plugin replaces the external URL in your post content. It handles multiple URL encoding variants to ensure no references are missed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Standard URLs</li>
<li>HTML entity-encoded URLs (<code>&amp;</code> instead of <code>&</code>)</li>
<li>URL-encoded paths (<code>%20</code> for spaces)</li>
<li>Fully encoded path segments</li>
<li>Protocol-relative URLs (<code>//example.com/...</code>)</li>
</ul>

<p>External or affiliate products are ones that have been linked to other sites or platforms other than WooCommerce. With the <strong>WPC External Variations for WooCommerce</strong> plugin, you are empowered with the ability to set up variable external products. Instead of choosing the external/affiliate product type, users are entitled to insert an external URL to any variation of a variable product and make them external variations.</p>
<h4>Live demo</h4>
<p>Visit our <a href="https://demo.wpclever.net/wpcstore/product/mens-three-piece-suit/?attribute_pa_color=blue&attribute_pa_size=large" title="live demo" rel="nofollow ugc">live demo</a> here to see how this plugin works.</p>
<p>It’s possible to customize the text displayed in the button for all external variations generally or specific variations. When customers click on the button under, the link will redirect them to the target site or open a new tab for customers to continue browsing; so the affiliation mission is completed properly.</p>
<p>External variations can have a normal display like a standard variable product. Buyers will see them as normal variations until the button (in the position of the normal Add to Cart button) is clicked and they are redirected. Moreover, external variations work perfectly with some variation selectors such as <strong>WPC Variations Radio Buttons</strong> & <strong>WPC Variations Table</strong>.</p>
<p>Another great feature that you can take advantage of with this plugin is that both external variations and standard variations can function properly under the same parent variable product. Buttons will change accordingly when buyers choose between the external and standard variations. There’s no need to worry about duplicated products or creating new products for external/affiliate purposes.</p>
<p>It’s beneficial if you run stores on different platforms at the same time, so when a variation is out of stock or not available on WooCommerce, you can redirect customers to purchase that item on a different platform by converting them into external variations in bulk. Don’t waste any chance to sell your products to customers at all.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited external variations per product</li>
<li>Custom button text replacement for all at once or each variation</li>
