Use it for new posts, already published content, or large backfills with filters and progress tracking. #### Features * Copies remote images when posts are published or updated (configurable). * Processes already published posts from a single post screen or in bulk. * Bulk processing with filters for post type, status, author, category, tag, search, date range, and remote-only posts. * Modern admin dashboard with scan preview, progress bar, and per-post results log. * Block Editor sidebar panel and classic editor metabox for single-post processing. * Manual row action in post list tables. * Copies images into the Media Library and sets the post as the attachment parent. * Replaces remote image URLs in post content with local attachment URLs. * Supports img src, srcset, block editor image URLs, featured images, and optional CSS background images. * Skips images already hosted on the current site. * Reuses previously copied images for the same post and source URL. * Domain allowlist and blocklist support. * Configurable download timeout, batch size, and supported post types. * Uses WordPress core media sideloading APIs with nonces and capability checks. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard with overview stats and quick actions.⌉⌊Dashboard with overview stats and quick actions.⌉[ Dashboard with overview stats and quick actions.

No. Images from the same host as your WordPress site are skipped. ### Does it attach images to the post? Yes. Every successfully copied image is created as a Media Library attachment with the processed post as its parent. ### Can I process already published posts? Yes. Open any supported post in the editor and use the **Bring Images Home** panel, or go to **Bring Images Home Bulk Process** to process many posts at once with filters. ### Can I control which post types are processed? Yes. Choose supported post types in **Bring Images Home Settings**. Developers can also use the `brinimho_supported_post_types` filter. Example: ``` add_filter( 'brinimho_supported_post_types', function( $post_types ) { return array( 'post' ); } ); ``` ### Does it hotlink or proxy images? No. It downloads the files into the local Media Library. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Bring Images Home – Copy Remote Images Locally” is open source software.
