A Handy WordPress Reposting Plugin: Auto_Save_Image, Automatically Save Remote Images

Download link: http://filemarkets.com/file/oldseedling/9b97fb82/

When I come across a valuable article online, I often want to repost it on my own blog to share it or make it easier to find later. But many articles contain a large number of images. Uploading each one manually would be far too much work; if I do not save them locally, I also worry that the original image links may stop working in the future. So I found the plugin below and made a few small modifications.

This plugin mainly provides the following features:

1. Automatically saves remote images and adds watermarks;
2. Automatically removes links that do not point to the current site;
3. Checks whether the post title is duplicated.

Changelog

Updated on July 17, 2010:

• Version: 2.2.2
• Fixed a small bug in the program
• Supports WordPress 2.9.2

Installation

After downloading and extracting the plugin, upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Then go to the WordPress admin dashboard and find auto-save-image under “Settings” to configure it.

After installing this plugin, two additional options will appear below the post title when publishing an article: “Automatically save remote images” and “Automatically remove links that do not point to the current site.” Check them as needed.

Instructions

1. You can set the image save path according to your needs;
2. You can add an image watermark or a text watermark;
3. The size and position of the text watermark can both be configured;
4. You can also replace the font used for the text watermark yourself: just replace the default simsun.ttc with a font file you like;
5. This plugin works normally on WordPress 2.9.2 and 3.0.
