Generate: Dynamic Elements: Remote Image

The Remote Image shortcode imports a remote image URL into the Media Library, and displays it for each generated Page.

This image is stored in your Media Library.

Adding: Classic Editor / TinyMCE

To add a remote image within the Classic Editor:

• Ensure that you’re using the Visual Editor by clicking the Visual tab:
  

  

• Click the Remote Image icon in the Visual Editor toolbar (picture frame):
  

  

Adding: Classic Editor / TinyMCE: Text Editor

If you’re using the Text editor instead of the TinyMCE Visual Editor above:

• Click the Image URL button in the toolbar:
  

  

Adding: Gutenberg

To add a Remote image within Gutenberg:

• Click the plus icon between two existing blocks, or towards the top left corner of the Gutenberg editor
  

  

• Start typing Image URL into the Search for a block field, and click the Image URL option that appears within the Page Generator Pro section
  

  

• Follow the Configuration section below for each of the fields displayed in the right hand sidebar’s block panel.

Adding: Page Builders

To add a Remote image within any Page Builder that supports a Text Editor widget/module using the Classic Editor (sometimes known as TinyMCE), refer to the Classic Editor instructions above.

Refer to the Dynamic Elements Documentation for details specific to your Page Builder.

If your Page Builder does not provide a Text Editor widget/block that uses the Classic Editor, you can still use Dynamic Elements.  However, you’ll need to manually build the shortcode, inserting it into your Page Builder’s content – for example:

[page-generator-pro-remote-image parameter="value" ...]

If any value is blank and the imported image contains an existing value in the EXIF metadata, the existing value will be retained.

Any other EXIF metadata is retained.

Configuration: Errors

Ignore Errors

If enabled, an error returned from the Dynamic Element will result in blank content output, instead of an error preventing generation of the entire Page / Post / Custom Post Type.

This setting may be useful if you don’t require the Dynamic Element to always return content output.

This setting is ignored when using Test mode. If the Dynamic Element produces an error, it will always be reported in Test mode, to assist with debugging.
