No. If an image has a direct public URL, you can use that URL directly in the gallery. ### Can I mix CDN images and WordPress Media Library images? Yes. Both sources can be used in the same gallery. ### Does this work only with a specific CDN provider? No. The plugin is provider-neutral. It works with direct public image URLs from CDN and image-hosting services that allow the browser to load the image. ### Does the plugin copy external images into WordPress? No. External image URLs remain external and are loaded from their existing location. ### Is there a shortcode? Yes. Existing `[ioanet_gallery]` shortcodes remain supported. Example: ``` [ioanet_gallery columns="2" featured_first="yes"] https://example.com/photo1.webp | First caption | First image alt text https://example.com/photo2.webp | Second caption | Second image alt text [/ioanet_gallery] ``` ### What is included in Pro? The Pro edition adds Elementor integration, four-column layouts, and custom desktop, featured, and mobile image height controls. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “IOANET CDN Gallery” is open source software.
