Description
Add external files to your media database to link or embed them in your website. The plugin integrates them into your WordPress as if they were locally available. So you can use the files in all places where the media library is used like all other files.
The plugin checks for you automatically on a regular basis whether the external files you have stored are still available.
In the settings you can define whether image files are hosted locally in your hosting or externally.
