Sideload External Images
Copypasted content keeps its images — imported into your media library.
Instant delivery: license key + download right after payment.
Version 1.0.0 · updates delivered automatically
About
Text copied from another site drags hotlinked images along: they load from someone else's server and vanish when that server deletes them. On save, the plugin downloads external files into your media library and swaps the links to local ones.
There is a per-post "Import" button and a whitelist of domains to skip.
Pro scans the whole archive, imports in cron batches and patches string custom fields.
Updates: the free version installs and updates from the official WordPress.org directory. Buying Pro activates auto-updates — the license key connects the plugin to the Yodsira store and new versions install themselves; a 12-month license is included in the price.

FAQ
Which images are imported?
Only external <img src>; local and data-URI images are untouched.
Host unreachable — then what?
The image is skipped and the original URL stays.
Are existing files touched?
No — only new attachments are added and the post HTML patched.
How do updates work?
The free version updates from the WordPress.org directory. A Pro license key turns on auto-updates from the Yodsira store for 12 months.

Installation & uninstall
Free version
- Download the zip archive with the "Download free" button above.
- In your WordPress admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Pick the downloaded zip, click "Install Now", then "Activate".
- The plugin's menu appears in wp-admin — configure it to your liking.
Pro version
- After payment, download the Pro archive from your order page (the link is also emailed).
- Install Pro like any plugin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Activate.
- The free version must be installed and active — Pro sits on top as a companion.
- Enter the license key on the plugin's Pro settings page.
Uninstall
- Plugins → find the plugin in the list → click "Deactivate".
- Then click "Delete" — the plugin and all its data (tables, settings, logs) are removed completely.
- The Pro companion uninstalls the same way, independently; the free version keeps working.
Every plugin we ship passes a clean-uninstall test: after "Delete" no tables or leftover settings remain in the database.
