Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Media Ranger scans your posts, pages, and custom post types for images hosted on external domains. It then downloads those images to your WordPress Media Library and automatically replaces the external URLs with local ones.

This is especially useful when:

  • Migrating content from another platform (Webflow, Squarespace, etc.)
  • Consolidating images from multiple CDNs
  • Ensuring all your media is hosted locally for better control
  • Improving site performance by serving images from your own server or CDN

Features:

  • Scan posts, pages, and any custom post type
  • Filter by post status (published, draft, any)
  • Process in batches to avoid timeouts
  • Include/exclude specific external hosts
  • Detect images in src, data-src, srcset, and <source> elements
  • Automatic deduplication (won’t re-import already imported images)
  • Optional: prefer original image size over thumbnails
  • Dry run mode to preview changes without modifying anything
  • REST API endpoint for programmatic access
  • Full WPML and Polylang compatibility
  • Support for modern image formats (WebP, AVIF)
