Just downloaded this plugin because I though it would solve my problem. Instead, it just throws an error when I try to save a post: Warning: basename() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in …/wp-remote-thumbnail/wp-remote-thumbnail.php on line 97 Looks like it’s the same error that was reported over three years ago.

This plugin looks like the answer to my issue, but I don’t want to start counting on a plugin that is dying. I see it’s been 11 months since your last update, are you going to revive this plugin or let it die? Thanks Matt
