Popis

Forward: Embed Image Links replaces plain image URLs with the actual image they point to. Paste a direct image URL into a post, page, bbPress topic, reply, or forum description, and the plugin displays it as an embedded image on the front end.

The plugin also includes a simple width setting so large images can be scaled to fit the content area.

Key features

Converts direct image URLs into image embeds automatically.
Works in posts, pages, and bbPress content.
Supports common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and SVG.
Lets you set a maximum image width as a percentage of the content area.
Translation-ready and bundled with common language files.

Good for

Forums where users paste image links.
Editorial workflows that need quick image previews from direct URLs.
Sites that want lightweight image embedding without extra shortcodes.

Data and privacy

Forward: Embed Image Links does not send data to an external API and does not store personal data.

The plugin changes front-end display only. It keeps the original URL in the post content and outputs it as an image when the page is viewed. Visitors‘ browsers will request the image from the original remote host, so that host may receive normal request details such as IP address and user agent.

This is just what I was looking for so we could build front end posting for our members without the need for a wysiwyg text editor. Thanks
