In reply to: [Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] disabling product snippet structured dataThe need for the structured image data and how it will be disabled can be discussed later, of course. But for now, I’m interested in the error message. Please copy and paste the full message here.

In reply to: [Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] disabling product snippet structured dataHey there,
Correct. After the last update, as noted in the changelog, changes were made to improve integration with Google Rich Results. FIFU doesn’t aim to replace an SEO plugin, but it does need to add the minimum structured data for remote images.
If you’re getting an error message, please send it to me so I can try to reproduce the issue and fix the code.
For now, just install the previous version of FIFU from the link below, and that should solve the problem:
https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/featured-image-from-url.5.2.5.zipHello, @arisudi.
FIFU works by providing a remote featured image field as an alternative to the regular featured image field for local images. However, only custom post types have featured images in WordPress.
BuddyPress, by default, has no field for a local featured image in the /activity screen, so FIFU also doesn’t add a field there.
Based on that, an integration between FIFU and the activity wouldn’t make sense.
But if I misunderstood your question and you’d like to add more details, please go ahead.
I don’t know what field is used by your plugin.
Yes, I meant close to the image, normally at the bottom. Anyway, who decides where and how it’s displayed, as explained, is the theme, not FIFU.
After reviewing the plugin code, FIFU was indeed not writing the text into the database field designated for the caption. Consequently, themes, even those that call for the caption, were not displaying it next to the image. This will be fixed in the next version, 5.2.6.
FIFU doesn’t display any image or text. The theme does that. The only thing FIFU does is organize the database so the theme has those elements available when it needs them. Anyway, I will review the code to make sure it’s saving the text in the registers recommended by WordPress for captions. I will let you know if I find any issue.
when inserted a Google link in FIFU, FSM dissappears, but I don’t know why because it worked for years.
“Since version 5.2.2, FIFU hides the button for local featured images to avoid confusion. The FSM fields are being hidden as well because they add content exactly in the same HTML tag as the local featured image button.”
I’ll have to use both if I don’t want to lose all my captions inserted with FSM.
FIFU uses the fifu_image_alt custom field to store the alternative text (also used as the caption). Since it seems FSM also uses custom fields to store captions, theoretically, you could copy the texts from the FSM custom fields to FIFU in whichever way you prefer. Using a SQL command, this would be very easy. After that, you could disable FSM if you wish.
For now, while version 5.2.5 isn’t available, you could try using an image URL that’s not hosted on Google Drive. Then, FIFU’s alternative text will be displayed, and you can run all the tests you need involving FSM and FIFU.
Version 5.2.5 won’t be much different, except that it will also support Google Drive URLs and feature a larger input field.
Probably version 5.2.2, when enhancements were made to the input fields.
Sure, I’ll try to make the Alternative Text field larger.
As for disabling the FSM plugin, that’s your decision, since it may have other functions you need. However, FIFU will continue to have its own field to describe the images.
Thank you for reporting.
Indeed, the plugin isn’t displaying the preview for Google Drive URLs. Consequently, FIFU’s Alternative Text field isn’t being displayed.
A fix for this will be released in the next version, 5.2.5.
When that’s ready, use FIFU’s Alternative Text for the caption, as it is used for both the Alt and Caption attributes.
Therefore, you won’t use the field provided by the FSM plugin, which is for local featured images, not remote featured images.
And yes, FIFU hides the button for local featured images to avoid confusion. To make it visible again, simply remove the image URL.
The FSM fields are being hidden as well because they add content exactly in the same HTML tag as the local featured image button.
Thank you for reporting! Version 5.2.4 has been released to resolve it.

In reply to: [Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] Disable Unsplash “PLUS” images from SearchHi @rswebsols,
We’ve adjusted the server side to not deliver images from PLUS. To avoid cached results, try using new keywords.
Thank you so much for the kind review, @l3lindsid3!

In reply to: [Featured Image from URL (FIFU)] Featured images from external URLsHi @willmilas.
FIFU was designed exactly to work with remote featured images. There’s no advantage in using FIFU with local images, by the way.
