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.
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!
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.

Post Thumbnail from URL

Post Thumbnail From URL is a plugin to quickly import images from the web straight to your Media Library using a public URL.

<h3>Advanced Customization</h3>
<h4>For Front End Display</h4>
By default, the plugin hooks into the following filters: <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/the_content" rel="nofollow ugc">the_content()</a> and <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/the_content" rel="nofollow ugc">the_excerpt()</a>.
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY USING FILTER HOOK: gklpa_the_postavatar
The <code>gklpa_the_postavatar</code> filter takes two parameters:
<ol>
<li>
<code>$post_avatar_text</code> – Original HTML display
</li>
<li>
<code>$post_avatar</code> – Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are:
<pre><code>avatar_url: The URL to the image 
show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them 
image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off 
image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off 
post_id: ID of current post 
post_title: Post title for the image attribute 
image_name: Image file name
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
Example: Display a default image if no avatar is selected
This example makes use of the HTML/CSS settings defined by the site admin.
<pre><code> add_filter( 'gklpa_the_postavatar', 'prefix_show_default_image', 10, 2 );
 function prefix_show_default_image( $post_avatar_html, $post_avatar_array ){
 global $post, $gklpa_plugin_settings;

 // Display default image;
 if( is_null( $post_avatar_array ) ){
 if( !empty( $gklpa_plugin_settings['css_class'] ) {
 $css = 'class="' . $gkl_plugin_settings['css_class']. '"';
 }
 $post_avatar_html = $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_before' ] . '<img '. $css . ' src="http://wplatest.dev/images/default-image.jpg" alt="' . esc_attr(strip_tags($post->post_title) ) . '" />'. $gklpa_plugin_settings['html_after'];
 }
 return $post_avatar_html;
 }
</code></pre>
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH CUSTOM CONTENT HOOK
If you want to change the HTML completely or override the option to display avatars automatically, use the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter" rel="nofollow ugc">remove_filter()</a> like so: 
 remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 ); 
 remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘gkl_postavatar_filter’, 99 );
You can then define your own <code>the_content</code> filter function that makes use of the <code>gkl_postavatar()</code> or <code>gkl_get_postavatar()</code> functions
You will need to use the function <code>gkl_get_postavatar()</code> which takes the post object and returns the array of post avatar information.
<ol>
<li>
<code>$post_avatar_array</code> – Post Avatar data in array format. The keys are:
<pre><code>avatar_url: The URL to the image

show_image_dim: 1 indicates to show image dimensions, 0 to hide them

image_height: integer value of image height or null if image dimensions is turned off

image_width: integer value of image width or null if image dimensions is turned off

post_id: ID of current post

post_title: Post title for the image attribute

image_name: Image file name
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
Example:
<pre><code> add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_custom_post_avatar' );
 function my_custom_post_avatar( $content ){
 global $post;

 $current_avatar = gkl_get_postavatar( $post );
 $html_before = '';
 $html_after = '';
 // Display default image
 if( is_null( $current_avatar ) ) {
 $image_url = 'http://wplatest.dev/images/default-image.jpg';
 $alt_text = esc_attr(strip_tags($post->post_title) );
 } else {
 $image_url = $current_avatar['avatar_url'];
 $alt_text = $current_avatar['post_title'];
 }
 $post_avatar_html = $html_before . '<img src="'. $image_url . '" alt="' . $alt_text . '" />'. $html_after;

 return $post_avatar_html; 
 }
</code></pre>
OVERRIDE HTML DISPLAY WITH template tag <code>gkl_postavatar</code>
If you want the post avatar to appear outside of the content, e.g. with the entry’s meta information, make use of the <code>gkl_postavatar()</code> template tag.
It takes four paramters:
<pre><code> class: CSS class to use in the `<img>` tag. 
 before: HTML to appear before the image. 
 after: HTML to appear after the image. 
 do_what: Use `echo` to display the post avatar, `return` to pass it to a variable. Defaults to `echo`.
</code></pre>
Example: In a template file:
<pre><code> <div class="entry-meta"> 
 <?php gkl_postavatar('', "", "" );?>

 -- more template tags here --
 </div>
</code></pre>
Or you can make your own template tag function like in the example for “Override HTML display with custom content hook”, except you call the function directly in your template instead of hooking into <code>the_content()</code>.
<h4>For Administration Screens</h4>
Add Post Avatar to Pages and Custom Post Types
Use the filter hook <code>gklpa_allowed_post_types</code> to add further post types that you want the Post Avatar selection to appear on.
It takes an array of post type slugs as a parameter.
<pre><code> add_filter( 'gklpa_allowed_post_types', 'prefix_my_custom_post_types' );
 function prefix_my_custom_post_types( $current_post_types ){
 $current_post_types = array( 'post', 'page', 'review', 'event' );
 return $current_post_types;
 }
</code></pre>
Enable Image Selection for Folder Outside of WordPress Installation
By default, Post Avatar looks for your images folder in relation to your WordPress installation. If you want to move your folder elsewhere, use these pair of filter hooks: <code>gklpa_image_url</code> and <code>gklpa_image_dir</code>. They take a single parameter: Image folder url and absolute path to the image folder, respectively.
<pre><code> add_filter( 'gklpa_image_url', 'prefix_change_folder_url' );
 function prefix_change_folder_url( $current_url ){
 return esc_url( 'http://mysite.com/images/' );
 }

 add_filter( 'gklpa_image_dir', 'prefix_change_folder_dir' );
 function prefix_change_folder_dir ){
 return '/user/public_html/images/';
 }
</code></pre>
