Excellent plugin and support

By superbr on November 17, 2024

Fast support and awesome plugin

Plugin is perfect, support is world-class

By nixk on August 4, 2024

The plugin is great (paid version). All the customizability needed, and very simple and easy to use. There's always going to be conflicts with special themes or other plugins, and these were quickly hashed out and easily fixed with the plugin's great support, thanks to Marcel.

All my boring image thumbnails are now autotplay MP4 videos, and this is a game changer for my business as a VFX Studio. If I could give this plugin a better rating I would.

Great plugin and even better service

By theclothessupplier on June 19, 2024

really recommend.

the bad plugin looks like this

By hakhakop on June 18, 2024

no function works as expected, it has all the bad behaviour of worst wordpress plugins, from user experience to user interface is worst in the world, from point of view of a developer its a disaster

Great functionality, great support

By Timothy Snyder (thetimsnyder) on June 12, 2024

I switched to the premium version of this plugin for the YouTube functionality, and it does exactly what I need it to. The company has also had amazing support with almost immediate response times when I have a need.

Highly recommend.

Great plugin and support

By tarmrenser on May 24, 2024

I had a small issue that turned out to be a problem with another plugin.
Marcel provided outstanding support and pointed me in the right direction.

Works well. Great support

By brussell99 on May 11, 2024

Using the Premium version. No problem with getting it to work, easy to use. A minor issue with the FIFU alt tags not working correctly, but the response from Marcel was first rate and the issue was quickly resolved.

Exactly What I Needed!

By justbishop on February 27, 2024

Using the premium version on my book logging/review site to grab book cover images from amazon page URLs I was already inputting to create an affiliate purchase link. It was a bit bumpy at first, but the plugin author was extremely attentive and helped me over the course of several days to get things working exactly as I'd hoped! highly recommend if you need an easy and quick way to grab an image from an external URL.

Exceptional Product and Support!

By whitecode on February 2, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of configuring the FIFU Plug-in for my website, and I am beyond impressed with both the product and the support provided by the FIFU team.

In my extensive experience of building over 2,500 websites, I can confidently say that the commitment and professionalism demonstrated by the FIFU team are unparalleled. During a challenging debugging period, their support went above and beyond, providing solutions when no one else could. This level of dedication truly sets them apart in the industry.

One standout feature is the timely and efficient response to support tickets. Unlike many other plugins, the FIFU team addresses concerns promptly, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. This responsiveness is a breath of fresh air in an industry where delayed or non-existent responses are unfortunately common.

The FIFU Plug-in's lightweight design ensures a fast-loading website, exceeding expectations even under stress tests with 500 products. As I scale up to over 12,000 products, I'm confident in its ability to consistently deliver outstanding results. FIFU's efficiency has significantly contributed to the success of my website.

The FIFU team has set a new standard in a field where support is often lacking. They are a reliable, customer-centric, and highly skilled development team. My experience with their plugin has been smooth and enjoyable. Excited to use it with my new API to load over 200,000 product variable images and anticipate great success.

I highly recommend Featured Image From URL Plugin!

Sincerely, Jimmy - White Code Agency

By dubh (SPMcNerd) on January 16, 2024

We've been using FIFU on several sites for a few years to save on space. It has worked flawless and updated quick when the external link rules are changed. The support alone is worth it's weight in gold.
