Description

This Plugin allows to use an external image as Featured Image, this can be especially useful if you house your images in another location.

This Plugin is compatible with Nelio External Featured Image Metadata, so you can reuse your data in case you want to uninstall Nelio Plugin.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

  1. Upload and extract the plugin file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.

It is what I was looking for: simplicity. $external_image = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_dcms_eufi_img', true );

Excellent!

works well.

Doesn't work, no support

By opopanax on March 22, 2017

The external Image area does show up, but entering a photo and alt code doesn't display the image on the blog listing or post itself. This may be a theme issue. But 2 other support threads have been started that are more than 2 months and there's been no comment. So it's unlikely mine will be answered as well.

Excellent!
