The plugin supports all file types that WordPress can handle, including images ( JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), videos (MP4, WebM), PDFs, and audio files. ### Can I upload from any URL? Yes, as long as the URL is publicly accessible and the file can be downloaded by WordPress. The source server must allow remote access to the file. ### Does the plugin check for duplicate uploads? The plugin will upload the file even if it already exists in your media library. You can add deduplication logic using the provided filters. ### How does the plugin handle servers that block downloads? The plugin uses a fallback mechanism to handle servers that block standard browser requests. If a server returns a 403 (Forbidden) error, the plugin will automatically retry the download with alternative user agents, including a generic browser user agent and, as a last resort, a Googlebot user agent string. This helps bypass some server restrictions that block non-browser requests. **Important:** Impersonating search engine crawlers may violate some websites’ terms of service. Use this feature responsibly and only download files from sources you have permission to access. You can customize or disable this behavior using the `vumu_remote_get_args` filter. ### Does it work with SVG files? Yes. The plugin includes built-in SVG support with automatic sanitization, allowing you to upload SVG files and view them properly in the WordPress media library. ### Will thumbnails be generated for all images? Yes. Thumbnails are automatically generated for all image types except SVG files, following WordPress’s standard thumbnail generation process. ### Can I track the original source URL? Yes. The original URL is saved as post meta for each uploaded file, allowing you to reference the source later. ### Is the plugin compatible with multisite? Yes. The plugin works in both single-site and multisite WordPress installations. ## Avaliações ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/83d22f56747a61e3c3b4566e6489d6bfad305481c40becae3982d105ce1da7bc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[That’s awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thats-awesome-17/)󠁿 [wajhi786](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wajhi786/) 11 abril, 2026 That's awesome ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/042f7a6ff2056ac72f30c638c9acdaf8a8240351ac4326d99b0cbbbd20d236d0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-awesome-126/)󠁿 [theprodude1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/theprodude1/) 7 abril, 2026 1 resposta one of the best things i have come across seriously.

Instead of downloading files and re- uploading them, I can now import media directly using a URL in seconds. It works smoothly with images, videos, PDFs, and even SVGs, which is a big plus. The dedicated upload page is simple and easy to use, and the automatic thumbnail generation saves extra time. I also like that it stores the original URL for reference, which is really helpful when managing content from multiple sources. Overall, a lightweight and very practical plugin that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for anyone working with WordPress media regularly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/044e2fbc1f78f276a58bc7bdf59d209026a9f574190382fd649e491ad07d4f49? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and Time Saving](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-time-saving-5/)󠁿 [harisali19](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harisali19/) 5 abril, 2026 1 resposta Really useful plugin.
