    I’m not sure if there’s a workaround, or if what I’m asking for is a ‘feature request’…

    For individual testimonials, I would like to be able to put in a link to a person’s image, rather than having to download/upload images into my WordPress site. This gives me the advantage of being able to link from a person’s LinkedIn image, or the image they maintain (and update) on their corporate/business site.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hey dziesmer!

    It would take a lot of time and code to implement so it would have to be considered custom work for now. Lots of websites do not allow you to “hotlink” images like that as people misuse it for stealing bandwidth, etc etc. Also, if the website goes offline or decides to take the image down then it will display broken on your website and you would not know about it.

    It would be best to just download the image with their permission and upload it to your media library.

    Cheers!
