  When I try to hot-link an image, it is imported into my media library. I am building the HTML by hand and NOT using the “add media” function – of any of the editors.

  See https://wheelgun.wordpress.com/2017/12/28/testing-testing-is-this-thing-on/ for some images of the HTML before and after I publish.

  Hi there, I’m a bit confused by your comment since the thread you’ve linked to is neither resolved nor closed (?). https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/link-to-an-image-on-another-site-without-importing-to-media-library?replies=4#post-3058051

  Rather than opening another forum thread on the same topic, it does help to keep posting in the original thread. That way we can better track progress on an issue, so please post back in that thread.

  I’ll go ahead and close this thread as a duplicate.
