Everything I was looking for
This plugin simply does what it says it does.This allows me to have images hosted on a Discord channel directly on my Wordpress website without having to host a single one of them. If I could find just one little thing to add, it would be to see in real time which link is being processed. Bravo to the developer, great work !
