    Hello! How I can use a URL instead of uploading an image? Im used plugin “External Media without Import”, but files uploading by this way don’t show in HD Quiz. I see in console error:

    `hdq_admin.js?v=1.7.0&ver=1.0:97
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘url’ of undefined
    at b.Collection.<anonymous> (hdq_admin.js?v=1.7.0&ver=1.0:97)
    at s (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at r (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at m (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at b.Collection.k.trigger (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at b.Collection._onModelEvent (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at s (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at r (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at m (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)
    at N.d.k.trigger (backbone.min.js?ver=1.2.3:1)’
    Please help!

    Hi laurentnautilus,
    you can’t use a URL because HD Quiz needs to be able to create thumbnails and different sizes. Without this, HD Quiz cannot properly size to fit images making the layout look broken. WordPress has zero control over media that has not been imported to its library.

    On top of that, allowing images via URL would allow for unethical behaviour (hotlinking is essentially stealing bandwidth), as well as open up a ton of security vulnerabilities (example: if you link to an image that I control, I can change or modify that image to something malicious… or worse).

    Because of this, I’m afraid that allowing images by just pasting a URL is something that will never be implemented in HD Quiz. The only recommendation I can give is to download the image and upload to your site first.
