It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/add-external-media/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1483467) # Add External Media By [leemon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leemon/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/add-external-media.1.0.5.zip) * [Details](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/add-external-media/#description) * [Reviews](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/add-external-media/#reviews) * [Installation](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/add-external-media/#installation) * [Development](https://kab.wordpress.org/plugins/add-external-media/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/add-external-media/) ## Description Add external media from a [supported oEmbed provider](https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds)( YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Twitter, …) to the media library ## Screenshots * [[ * Enter the url and size of the external media you’d like to add to the media library here ## Installation 1. Upload the extracted plugin folder and contained files to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the « Plugins » menu in WordPress ## FAQ Does this plugin import the actual external media content into the library? No, external media attachments just contain URL references to the original resources How can I show an external media attachment with the specified width and height? $oembed = new WP_oEmbed(); $oembed_width = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_width’, true ); $oembed_height = get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, ‘_oembed_height’, true ); echo $oembed->get_html( wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID ), array( ‘width’ => $oembed_width, ‘height’ => $oembed_height ) ); Why are the width and height settings in some external media attachments being ignored? Some service providers, such as Twitter and Instagram, have a maximum and minimum allowed width and ignore the height setting completely ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/22dcf41213b58505959c76ae20650595fbd28c9653c683591c3c6f14d60f1aa5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-17718/)󠁿 [lucasbustamante](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lucasbustamante/) 24 Ibrir 2018 Great plugin, thanks!

Does exactly what it says on the tin and allows you to add external media straight into your library for use anywhere. Would love to see the ability to add an external item from the Media > Add New page and also from fields like the ACF gallery which do use the standard WP interface. Good job!
