       	$file_array  = [ 'name' => wp_basename( $file ), 'tmp_name' => download_url( $file ) ];
   
       	// If error storing temporarily, return the error.
       	if ( is_wp_error( $file_array['tmp_name'] ) ) {
       		return $file_array['tmp_name'];
       	}
   
       	// Do the validation and storage stuff.
       	$id = media_handle_sideload( $file_array, 0, $desc );
   
       		// If error storing permanently, unlink.
       	if ( is_wp_error( $id ) ) {
