   Hello

   I recently switched my site from serendipity CMS to wordpress. As a result the images in my blog posts carry the serendipity uploads directory path:

   <img src='/uploads/whatever.serendipity.thumb.jpg'>

   Because the path is

   a: Not wordpress uploads directory
   b: Relative path

   Generate post thumbnails tries to download as if they are complete URLs when in reality they are not. So this change above line number 190 ($saved_in_wordpress = false;):

   if(strpos( $image, 'http:' ) !== 0) {
   			$image=site_url().'/'.$image;
   		}

   Fixes the problem and images are successfully assigned as post thumbnails.

   Regards,
   Abdussamad
