Sideload Images on Publish

WordPress plugin for automatically sideloading external images when publishing posts/comments to ensure things don't break in the future when those images are no longer available.

Searches the content for <img> elements and images inserted in markdown format.

Only loads images from whitelisted domains. This can be easily filtered using the hm_sideload_images filter.

Current Whitelist

'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com', // DropBox

'http://www.evernote.com',           // Evernote / Skitch
