First off all, great work and thanks for the WordPress External Images plugin. I just downloaded it and it's working great, there is only one thing, I can't figure out how to put the code into wp all import for woocommerce, tried already diverent methodes but still not working... The external url is a ssl contection and mine too...

Hope you can help me... :-)

The External Images plugin will check two different keys in wp_postmeta for your external URLs.

You can import to either of these using WP All Import:

_dfrps_featured_image_url

or

external_image_url

HI

I have installed WordPress External Images plugin and I want to add external images using WP All Import but I cant find "external_image_url" or "_dfrps_featured_image_url" in custom fields during csv importation! My web site use ssl and external image are ssl, and I can’t find option “Don’t import images” !

Please help me!

kind regards

To answer your question: Do not import images – it’s not an option – it asks you in wp all import with woocommerce addon for the images fields – just don’t drag them to that area. Instead, drag them to the custom meta area. Create a new custom meta – you can name it external_image_url and that’s it! Now when your products are imported, no featured image will be imported, but the custom meta will have this url set – if you go to edit your product, on the right hand side where the featured image is, you’ll see the external image instead.

Hi
Thank you for your replay.
Can you please explain more? I did not understand your explanation!
what do you mean by “create custom product meta” “mport CUSTOM POST META” “load the image to the external_image_url wp_postmeta field.”?
Kind regards

Hi – you can create custom product meta when you import through wp all import. Don’t import images. Instead, import CUSTOM POST META. And load the image to the external_image_url wp_postmeta field..
