 * Hi I have 1300 old posts that all require this plugin to search for linked images
   and download them.
 * Is it possible to search all posts rather than having to individually open every
   one and save it again?
 * Thanks

 * I just downloaded this plugin and had the same question but I found the answer..
   just go to Media.. and there is a “Import Images” option so you can bulk import
   all images for all posts that have external images..
 * Absolutely loving this plugin, it’s a life-saver after a failed site import 🙂

 * “Import External Images” plugin hasn’t been updated for a long time.
 * Try this plugin instead, which does work reliably and is being actively developed:

 * Yes, under Media->Import Images, you should be able to go through the whole site
   at once.
