## Beschrijving

Forward: Embed Image Links replaces plain image URLs with the actual image they 
point to. Paste a direct image URL into a post, page, bbPress topic, reply, or forum
description, and the plugin displays it as an embedded image on the front end.

The plugin also includes a simple width setting so large images can be scaled to
fit the content area.

#### Key features

 * Converts direct image URLs into image embeds automatically.
 * Works in posts, pages, and bbPress content.
 * Supports common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and SVG.
 * Lets you set a maximum image width as a percentage of the content area.
 * Translation-ready and bundled with common language files.

#### Good for

 * Forums where users paste image links.
 * Editorial workflows that need quick image previews from direct URLs.
 * Sites that want lightweight image embedding without extra shortcodes.

### Data and privacy

Forward: Embed Image Links does not send data to an external API and does not store
personal data.

The plugin changes front-end display only. It keeps the original URL in the post
content and outputs it as an image when the page is viewed. Visitors’ browsers will
request the image from the original remote host, so that host may receive normal
request details such as IP address and user agent.

## FAQ

### Which image URLs are embedded?

Direct URLs ending in supported image extensions are embedded. Examples include `.
jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.gif`, `.bmp`, `.webp`, and `.svg`.

### Does this upload images to my media library?

No. The plugin displays the image from the original URL. It does not copy the file
into WordPress.

### Does this change my saved post content?

No. The direct URL stays in the post content. The image replacement happens when
WordPress renders the content.

### Can I control the displayed image size?

Yes. Open **Settings > Forward: Embed Image Links** and set the maximum width as
a percentage of the content area.

### Does this work with bbPress?

Yes. It runs on common bbPress topic, reply, and forum content filters.

This is just what I was looking for so we could build front end posting for our 
members without the need for a wysiwyg text editor. Thanks
