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]
	Show more information about the process on STDOUT.
