  If you switch to the HTML editor you can include images from somewhere else. Please be aware that displaying images that are hosted elsewhere is generally frowned upon as you’re using someone else’s hosting bandwidth. It’s also dangerous as the host could change the image at any point and your site would end up displaying anything they picked. If you have permission to display an image or it’s something covered by fair use it would be better to upload it to your media library and host your own copy of the image.

  Thank you, I tested it and work fine. One minor thing is that this HTML option is not shown when using ipad with wordpress APP but work just fine using PC.
