Pricing

You may have seen some references on our site to annual licensing or renewals.

All plugins currently come with a lifetime license, no matter what the site says.

We’re currently running tests before we make the switch to annual pricing. Check the Discounts tab to purchase our other plugins and get a lifetime license before they’re gone.

I Understand I Have a Lifetime License
Now is your last chance to buy a lifetime license before we switch to annual pricing. Existing licenses will be unaffected.

Importing Images From URLs

WP All Import allows you to import images directly from URLs in the Images section of the Drag & Drop screen during the import process.

Download Images Hosted Elsewhere

When mapping your import template, choose the option Download image(s) hosted elsewhere to import images from a URL starting with http:// or https://.

You need to drag and drop the element or attributes containing your image URLs or filenames to the text box:

Download Images Hosted Elsewhere

You can use the Preview & Test button to see the final URLs that WP All Import will attempt use for the downloads. You can also run tests there to ensure that the images download correctly.

If your images are not importing as expected, the cause is almost always that the URLs you specified don’t actually point to valid images.

Make sure one complete image URL is present on each line, or that your complete image URLs are separated by the specified separator character (it's a comma by default).

When the import runs, it will download the images and add them to your Media Library.

Below are some examples to help you import images:

Example 1 – Constructing Image URLs from the File Name

If your XML or CSV file only contains the image file name, not the complete URL to the file, you’ll have to construct the URL by prepending the image file name with the URL to the folder containing it.

In your file: <image>my-image-name.jpg</image>
Image URL: http://example.com/my-folder/my-image-name.jpg

Import Images Compose URL

If there are multiple images in the {image[1]} element, you can use a function like this to prepend the URL to all of them: Prepend URL to multiple images in a single import element.

Example 2 – Importing From Attributes

If your images are in an attribute and not an element, make sure you click and drag the attribute, not the element. Attributes only exist in XML files.

Here's an example of an attribute:

<element attribute=”http://example.com/image-1.jpg” />

If your image URLs are stored in attributes, not elements, click and drag 'attribute' to the image URLs textbox, not 'element'.

Another example:

<img url=”http://example.com/image-1.jpg” />

Drag 'url' to the image URLs textbox, so the textbox contains {img[1]/@url}, not just {img[1]}. That way, you import from an attribute.

Importing Images From Your Computer

If you have the images you wish to import on your computer/localhost, you’ll need to upload them online before WP All Import can import them.

The easiest way to do this is to create a folder on your website called “images” and then upload all the images to this folder – i.e., http://your-site.com/images/<upload-your-images-here>

Then follow the normal procedure for importing images from a URL, as explained above.

If you have a .zip/.gz/.gzip file containing your XML and CSV file and all associated images, you can’t import this file directly — you need first to unzip it, get the images out, and upload them somewhere so that WP All Import can import them.
