James Q. asked 2 years ago
I tried to utilize the external images plugin I bought yesterday and had no luck. Curious if you have heard of other issues with this theme.
Couple issues:
1) I WAS able to manually update the featured image BUT the image gallery did not display at all.
2) WPALLIMPORT would not accept the custom values I added to import the external images. Looks like these values are serialized in POST-META table, not sure if that matters.
I added them like this:
external_image_url {{photo0}}
external_image_url {{photo1}}
external_image_url {{photo2}}
external_image_url {{photo3}}
external_image_url {{photo4}}
external_image_url {{photo5}}
external_image_url {{photo6}}
external_image_url {{photo7}}
external_image_url {{photo8}}...
external_image_url {{photo20}}

I’ve created a demo of External Images working with the Porto theme here:
https://porto.demo.wpintense.com/product/blue-backpack/
It wasn’t working before, but the version 2.61 I’ve released today includes fixes to get the gallery working in the Porto theme. This will fix other themes too.

Also – specifically regarding the WP All Import job you’ve created – that looks correct except you need to include a pipe separator. Like this:
external_image_url {{photo0}}|
external_image_url {{photo1}}|
external_image_url {{photo2}}|
external_image_url {{photo3}}|
