👋🏼Welcome to my WP-Host blog where I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise on WordPress hosting and website construction tutorials with you. Let’s connect and learn from each other! You can reach me at info@yrshare.com.
Sometimes we may use some external link pictures, which can be directly inserted in the article or page editing process, but how to add these external link pictures to the media library? By default, wordpress does not support adding externally linked images, and can only be uploaded locally. Although CDN and object storage can be integrated to realize externally linked images in disguise, it is essentially still uploaded locally.
Today, Yueran builds a website to recommend a wordpress plugin (a bit old, but it can be used)-External Media without Import, through which you can add external links to the wordpress media library.
The plug-in is free, you can directly search and download it in the plug-in center of the wordpress website background, or you can download and install it through the link below.
It should be noted that this plug-in has not been updated for several years. I used it on one of my websites, and the function is normal. You can install it for a try first, and delete it if it doesn’t work.
If your current wordpress website theme supports this plugin (most of them do), then there will be an extra link when uploading pictures in the background media library, as shown in the picture above, click to enter the link to add pictures.
