## Опис

Images you hotlinked from third-party hosts break all the time — Imgur geo-blocked
them for UK visitors and deletes them, imgbox has been throwing 503s, and Discord
attachment links now expire. **PixelVault Image Rescue** keeps them working automatically:
when a page loads it rewrites at-risk image links so they load through PixelVault’s
edge instead of the failing host — and, optionally, migrates them into image hosting
you own.

 * **Instant fix, no account required.** Activate the plugin and at-risk images 
   start loading through PixelVault right away.
 * **Reversible and non-destructive.** Rewriting happens at output time only — your
   posts are never modified. Disable the plugin and the original markup returns 
   untouched.
 * **Handles `src` and `srcset`**, in post content, featured images, and widgets.
   An optional whole-page mode also catches theme-hardcoded images.

#### How it works

 1. **Install and activate.** Live rescue turns on by default and shows how many at-
    risk images it found on your site, per host.
 2. **Live rescue** rewrites each at-risk image to load through PixelVault’s rescue
    proxy, which fetches the image once and serves it from a global edge network — 
    so it keeps working even when the original host is blocked or down.
 3. **Migrate & Own (optional).** Add a free PixelVault API key to copy every at-risk
    image into your own PixelVault project and rewrite your posts to permanent, owned
    URLs.

#### Which hosts

 * **Imgur** — live rescue and migrate. Geo-blocked in the UK and deletes images.
 * **imgbox** — live rescue and migrate. Intermittent 503s / possible shutdown.
 * **Discord CDN** — migrate only. Discord attachment links now expire, so live 
   rescue can’t reliably re-fetch them; add an API key and migrate to copy them 
   into hosting you own before they’re gone.

#### Two ways to rescue

 * **Live rescue** — zero setup, no account, instant. Best for keeping existing 
   embeds visible today. It is durable-cached but re-fetches from the original host,
   so it can still break if that host deletes or expires the image.
 * **Migrate & Own** — a free API key copies each image into hosting you control
   and rewrites posts to permanent CDN URLs, independent of the original host. Fully
   reversible: every edited post keeps a revision, and a one-click **Restore original
   URLs** button reverts everything.

#### Perfect for

 * Blogs and forums with years of hotlinked Imgur, imgbox, or Discord images.
 * UK sites where Imgur images stopped loading after the geo-block.
 * Anyone who wants to stop depending on a third party that can block, delete, or
   expire their images.

#### About PixelVault

PixelVault is image hosting on a global edge network — permanent URLs, on-the-fly
transforms, and zero egress fees, with a free tier. This plugin is the WordPress
front-end for its image-rescue and migration features.

### External services

This plugin connects to **PixelVault** (https://pixelvault.dev), a third-party image-
hosting service, to rehost at-risk images from **Imgur, imgbox, and Discord CDN**.
It uses two PixelVault endpoints:

**1. Rescue proxy — Live rescue (always on when enabled)**

 * **What it does:** rewrites at-risk image links on your pages (Imgur and imgbox)
   to load through PixelVault’s rescue proxy, which fetches each image and serves
   it from PixelVault’s edge.
 * **What is sent:** only the URLs of the at-risk images found on the pages being
   rendered, sent to the rescue endpoint (default `https://img.pixelvault.dev/rescue`).
   No account or key is required.
 * **When:** each time a page containing an at-risk image is rendered.

**2. Import API — Migrate & Own (optional, admin-triggered)**

 * **What it does:** when you add a PixelVault API key and click **Migrate all at-
   risk images**, the plugin imports each at-risk image (Imgur, imgbox, or Discord)
   into your own PixelVault project and rewrites your posts to the resulting permanent
   URLs.
 * **What is sent:** the source image URLs to import and your PixelVault API key(
   sent server-side as a Bearer token), to the import endpoint (default `https://
   api.pixelvault.dev/v1/images`).
 * **When:** only while you are running a migration or restore from the plugin’s
   settings screen. Nothing is sent on the front end.

No visitor data and no post content beyond the at-risk image URLs themselves are
ever sent. Both endpoints are configurable if you self-host PixelVault.

By using this plugin you agree to PixelVault’s Terms (https://pixelvault.dev/terms)
and Privacy Policy (https://pixelvault.dev/privacy).

## Постављање

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Visit **Settings  Image Rescue**. Live rescue is on by default; you’ll see how 
    many at-risk images were found and can choose which hosts to rescue.

## ЧПП

### Which image hosts does this rescue?

Imgur and imgbox are rescued both ways — live rescue (front-end) and Migrate & Own.
Discord CDN is Migrate & Own only, because Discord attachment links expire and can’t
be reliably re-fetched later; migrating copies them into hosting you own while they
still load.

### Does this modify my posts?

No. Live rescue happens when a page is rendered — your saved content is never changed,
and deactivating the plugin fully reverts the behavior. (Migrate & Own does edit
post content, but saves a revision for each and is reversible from the settings 
page.)

### My imgbox images stopped loading. Can this help?

Yes. Enable imgbox under **Settings  Image Rescue** and live rescue will route your
imgbox images through PixelVault’s edge. For a permanent copy, add an API key and
run Migrate & Own.

### My Discord image links broke.

Discord attachment URLs now expire, so once a link is dead there’s nothing to re-
fetch. Add a PixelVault API key and run **Migrate & Own** while the links still 
work to copy the images into hosting you own.

### Some images still aren’t rewritten.

Enable **Whole-page mode** in the settings. It also rewrites theme-hardcoded and
background images at the cost of a little extra processing.

### Is it permanent?

Live rescue is durable-cached, not permanent — it re-fetches from the original host,
so it can still break if that host deletes or expires the image. For permanent ownership,
add an API key and run **Migrate & Own**, which copies the images into your PixelVault
project and rewrites your posts to owned URLs.

### Can I undo a migration?

Yes. Migration saves a revision for every edited post, and the settings page has
a **Restore original URLs** button that reverts posts back to their original URLs(
your owned copies on PixelVault are kept).

## Белешка о изменама

#### 0.3.1

 * Added plugin screenshots (settings + per-host detection, and Migrate & Own) to
   the WordPress.org listing. Readme and assets only — no functional changes.

#### 0.3.0

 * Multi-host rescue. Beyond Imgur, the plugin now rescues **imgbox** images (live
   rescue and Migrate & Own) and **Discord CDN** images (Migrate & Own only — Discord
   attachment links expire, so copies are made into hosting you own before they’re
   gone).
 * New **per-provider settings**: a „Hosts to rescue“ checklist lets you enable 
   each host, with a live at-risk count per host and an urgency note when a failing
   host is detected.
 * Provider-aware throughout — scan report, migration, and restore all cover every
   enabled host, and the external-services disclosure lists all three.

#### 0.2.3

 * Readme only: expanded the plugin description (how it works, the two rescue modes,
   use cases, and links to pixelvault.dev). No functional changes.

#### 0.2.2

 * Escape rewritten rescue URLs with esc_url() before they are returned to the front
   end, falling back to the original image URL if a URL is ever rejected.
 * Whole-page mode now closes its output buffer only when that buffer is provably
   its own (top of the stack and opened by this plugin), closes it as late as possible
   on shutdown, and never opens more than one — so a buffer opened by another component
   is never flushed or left misaligned.

#### 0.2.1

 * Whole-page mode now explicitly closes its output buffer on shutdown.
 * Documented the optional Migrate & Own import endpoint under External services.

#### 0.2.0

 * Mode B (Migrate & Own): with a PixelVault API key, copy Imgur images into your
   project and rewrite posts to permanent, owned URLs. Browser-driven with a progress
   bar, idempotent (skips already-migrated URLs), and reversible via a Restore button.

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial release. Mode A (live rescue): rewrite Imgur `src`/`srcset` in content,
   featured images, and widgets; optional whole-page mode; settings page with an
   at-risk image count.
