Is it possible to have the image that is used for the featured image hosted on a separate server? Currently right now if you need to set a featured image for the Enfold theme you first have to upload the image or have it in your image library. The reason why am asking is that a client is worried about bandwidth issues and want to host all image from Amazon Web Services(A separate server that will host the images). With that been said there seems no way to set the featured image if it is hosted outside of the server where your word-press is located.
Hi controlC!
You can try this plugin but you can only use it on posts: http://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-via-url/
