Hello Dave,
First off all, great work and thanks for the WordPress External Images plugin. I just downloaded it and it's working great, there is only one thing, I can't figure out how to put the code into wp all import for woocommerce, tried already diverent methodes but still not working... The external url is a ssl contection and mine too...
Hope you can help me... :-)

The External Images plugin will check two different keys in wp_postmeta for your external URLs.
You can import to either of these using WP All Import:
_dfrps_featured_image_url
or
external_image_url

HI
I have installed WordPress External Images plugin and I want to add external images using WP All Import but I cant find "external_image_url" or "_dfrps_featured_image_url" in custom fields during csv importation! My web site use ssl and external image are ssl, and I can’t find option “Don’t import images” !
Please help me!
kind regards
Dave Hilditch replied 7 years ago To answer your question: Do not import images – it’s not an option – it asks you in wp all import with woocommerce addon for the images fields – just don’t drag them to that area. Instead, drag them to the custom meta area. Create a new custom meta – you can name it external_image_url and that’s it! Now when your products are imported, no featured image will be imported, but the custom meta will have this url set – if you go to edit your product, on the right hand side where the featured image is, you’ll see the external image instead.

Do you have a guide to integrate WordPress External Images to WP All Import?
or please assist me step by step. Thanks
Media M. replied 7 years ago Hi
Thank you for your replay.
Can you please explain more? I did not understand your explanation!
what do you mean by “create custom product meta” “mport CUSTOM POST META” “load the image to the external_image_url wp_postmeta field.”?
Kind regards
Dave Hilditch replied 7 years ago Hi – you can create custom product meta when you import through wp all import. Don’t import images. Instead, import CUSTOM POST META. And load the image to the external_image_url wp_postmeta field..
