Hi Dave,
maybe you can help me, because external images plugin doesnt seem to work with the import plugin I installed: https://www.webtoffee.com/product/product-import-export-woocommerce/
External images URLs don’t get saved into wordpress while importing products from XML file. When I open the product edit page there is no URL saved.
Would you please advise what might be the reason?
Thanks

I recommend you use the latest beta 2.34, but in all versions what you need to do is import your external images to a custom meta field called external_image_url
In all import tools there will be an option to map your source fields to a custom meta destination field – i.e. you don’t use the ‘product image’ feature in whichever import tool, you use custom meta import.
Separate the image URLs with a pipe symbol for galleries too.
Beta now allows you to import images to product variations as well – again, import to the external_image_url custom meta field.

Live 2.40 version is out now. If you still have an issue importing to the external_image_url field (not _external_image_url – leave off the leading underscore) then please send a copy of this webtoffee import tool in a ticket and i’ll figure it out for you.
