Perfect for my needs

Easy to use, perfect for my needs. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages since most plugins here are only featuring links that are in the Media library. So far I don’t have image size issues, but if I ever will, I might spring for a pro version.

Most easy-to-use URL image plugin, and it keeps progressing

My favorite part of this plugin is that I don’t need to do anything redundant writing a post. It can automatically pick the first URL image as featured image. Just look at its setting page. It’s not a simple and naive one like others.
At first it was problematic with my Newspaper theme, but after I contacted with the author, he quickly fixed this issue. Very nice and active developer!

Really great plugin

A really good plugin. It does what it should and adds a gap in the actual theme, which the developers did not want to supplement.
I decided to go for the pro version and asked the developer for a special functionality for my needs. He was ready to integrate this into the Pro version for me.
He worked on the plugin until it did what it should with our theme.

A service that you get from a few developers only. And Marcel is one of them. We recommend. It’s a pleasure to donate.
Thanks a million!!

Wonderful plugin

One of the best and most useful plugins I have used so far. The support is absolutely great! Thank you, Marcel, for solving my problem!

The best solution out there for external images

My page needed the possibility to add external images for posts in some cases. So, I started to search online for possible solutions. I found out some ideas in forums on how You can theoretically do this, but I am not very experienced programmer and have limited skills in coding so I searched for plugins which could do that. Found “Featured Image From URL” and it was a really great solution. The only issue was, that the pictures added via the FIFU plugin looked out of place dimension vise. It is because all WP themes create all the necessary thumbnail sizes when adding an image to the WP DB. In this case it was just a link to an external source. I started to look for other solutions but I stopped soon because the few which where out there were so much weaker. Some were not supported, some did not work, some did not have even halve the features which FIFU has.

So, I went back to FIFU and found that FIFU premium has a cropping feature. I contacted the Author and he answered very fast, that the cropping feature will solve the issue. After acquiring the FIFU premium version, I received it very soon, installed it and at first had problems configuring everything properly. So the author helped me once more, looked at my case, at my personal theme, created an test environment for further testing and prepared precise instructions what I need to do to achieve the intended result. He even added a requested feature without hesitating.

I really recommend for everybody the premium version. Not only because it is the only plugin which delivers what it promises (in regard to adding featured images from URL), but as well because of the great support. The support was fast, precise and very friendly. I am greatfull to the author for the fantastic plugin.
