Image Widget Feature Request

Hello, thanks for making some great themes and plugins! I’m trying to use the Vantage Headline and Image widgets to display a banner of another website. I would prefer not to copy the image and import into our system, but instead just link to the image, which has all the information we are trying to display.

Therefore, I would like to request that you add the ability to link to an image. I hope this is enough information. If you need an example, please review the home page at wablues.monster-tamer.com. The banner I would like to display is down in the middle of the page.

Thanks very much and Cheers,
Jeff

    Hi Jeff

    Thanks for your support.

    You can do this with the original Image (PB) widget. If you don’t see this widget when searching “image” in the Add Widget search field then head to Plugins > SiteOrigin Page Builder and ensure that the Bundled Widgets setting is checked.

    Thanks Andrew. I did take look under the Plugins > SiteOrigin Page Builder, but there was nothing I could see to check. So, I looked in Settings, and sure enough, there was a configuration panel there for SiteOrigin Page Builder. The box was NOT checked, so I checked it and now have access to the PB image widget.

    However, going back to my original request, my idea was for the SiteOrigin Image widget to use the WordPress Image “Selector” window to include a “Insert from URL” for inserting media. You can see what I’m asking for if you try to create a new post in WordPress and insert a new image. The dialog box that pops has other options on the lefthand side, and one is “Insert from URL.” Would be nice to have this option added for the image widgets.

    Thanks for your help and quick response.

    Thanks Jeff, I’ll pass this onto the guys and mark is down as a feature request. The support and feedback is always a big help.

    All the best with your project.
