I'm using web scraper to scrape products from other website and import it to my wordpress site. It is uploading images on my server but i don't want it to import images instead want to directly use external link of image. Is it possible to use external image link for woocommerce products without downloading images to the server?

I have a wordpress site and a theme. When I hit home page it suppose to show products available in site, but is loading theme with default products came along with theme. I want to render my own products instead of theme products when I hit home page.
I do like to use existing rest web service to load that products from DB to show in theme home page.
I am new to wordpress and I need a way to achieve that requirement.
Thanks in advance..
Recently started using Google Cloud platform bucket to store all my wordpress images. As many of you know wordpress creates many thumbnails from the original image that was uploaded.
I have been able to link the image from the google bucket to wordpress. But from time to time I update the image. I thought it would have automatically updated the thumbnails as well. But this is not the case.
Scenario - I upload main image into wordpress media library. It creates two other images plus original eg Image.jpg; Image-510x383.jpg; Image-115x85.jpg
Only the Image.jpg is visible in the Google Bucket. Should I reupload the image with a change using gsutil. The main full scale image changes on wordpress live site but the thumbnails remain the old versions.
How do you find were these thumbnailed images are in Google bucket so I can resync them easily as well.
Thanks for any assistance.
Check out the WP-Stateless plugin - it's free. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-stateless/
It will manage the process of uploading your images and other files (PDFs, MP3s, etc) to Google Cloud Storage, including all the thumbnails WordPress generates. It supports several modes, including a mode that will delete the local file since it is no longer needed.
I am a Vimeo Pro user and they have an option of downloading my videos. My concern so far is once i publish the video download URL in a membership site and a person distributes it over the web, i have no control over it but to delete the video itself.
I was told i can generate the download URL through the Vimeo API to come up with expiring download links. But when I tried to get a video download URL through the API playground, it seems it expires after a certain period of time. If I go this way, that means I have to replace my video download URL's in my wordpress site every time a URL expired.
Is there a way for me to pull the non-expiring download URL of the video but the users in my Wordpress site see an expiring download link when they click on it - like Amazon S3 download URLs?
If there is, what are the codes needed and where would I place the codes in Wordpress core files like functions.php etc?
Thanks for your help and instructions from the basic steps.
I can't give wordpress specific examples, but one way might be to create your own wordpress page that generates the download link, and redirects your user to the download link.
Then you can control access via the wordpress link
I am using a wordpress site, and using the Formidable Pro plugin to create forms for users to submit pictures frontend as posts.
As the form is created using formidable, any pictures uploaded by user goes to a upload folder in the formidable directory in my FTP.
I want to use Amazon S3 to host all the images uploaded by users and also for these images to be shown in posts like how it was supposed to work.
How do I go about doing this? Must I use a W3 total cache plugin or super cache plugin? Is there another alternative?
There is the S3 and Cloudfront plugin you can try
http://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/
The only caveat to this, is that the images are loaded onto your server first, then uploaded to S3.
You may need to install a plugin to do this for you.
For example, there this plugin that's allows you to put a shortcode on any post/page to show S3 files: http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-aws-s3-browser/6470423
Check out the Live DEMO here: http://www.awss3.redwanhilali.net/?page_id=5#
You can use a service like img.vision.
It has a plugin at wordpress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/img-vision-button/
Steps:
Upload images at img.vision
Install plugin into your wordpress (you'll need to grab your api key from img.vision)
Create pages or posts and use the Img.vision button to add images from your account
Disclaimer: I created this service and after the 30 day trial you need to pay for a max image limit. NO need to pay for S3 or CDN bandwidth separately.
I have a development site and a live site where the database differs on 2 weeks(On the development side has been added between new Posts and Pages). What I want now is to export the posts and pages from the live site and import on the development side but without to override the newly created posts and Pages. Is it possible to achieve this with the standard wordpress import export plugin?
The import tool in Wordpress doesn't overwrite your posts and pages, it just adds them to your database. You can read about it on the following topics:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-import-1
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/will-import-over-write-existing-posts
However, it's always a good idea to backup your database before you do it.
