  • Gatsby's gatsby-source-wordpress plugin doesn't support transforming images within wordpress post/page content
  • As a workaround, you can insert images from URL in your wordpress content
  • If you don't want to use the workaround mentioned above, and would rather use the images that you have uploaded to your wordpress library, this starter template has an included (untested) plugin called `gatsby-wordpress-inline-images` which to transform all images within post/page content to Gatsby Images with full support for fluid transformations etc

• Test cases - full support for writing test cases in Typescript using Enzyme and Jest
