wp media sideload --domain=<domain> [--post_type=<post-type>] [--verbose]
Searches through the post_content field for images hosted on remote domains, downloads those it finds into the Media Library, and updates the reference in the post_content field.
In more real terms, this command can help "fix" all post references to
<img src="http://remotedomain.com/image.jpg" />
by downloading the image into
the Media Library, and updating the post_content to instead use
<img src="http://correctdomain.com/image.jpg" />
.
OPTIONS
--domain=<domain>
Specify the domain to sideload images from, because you don't want to sideload images you've already imported.
[--post_type=<post-type>]
Only sideload images embedded in the post_content of a specific post type.
[--verbose]
