The media library list shows the thumbnail of the image, file name and title and a column for “uploaded to”. Images used in Portfolio pages ate not marked as used in these. Only when used in pages the media library shows the “uploaded to” info correctly. Can this be fixed?
It would also be nice to enhance this list with additional info about the image like dimensions, aspect ratio, file size, file type. Are we asking for too much convenience?
But maybe its just a matter of settings.Hey milano24ore,
I’m not sure I understand what you are referring to, the Media library in WordPress maybe? If so the that is default WordPress functionality, it’s not part of the theme.
Best regards,
RikardOh well, yes. It is WP standard. But the Enfold Theme should register the used images with the media library. Works with pages and posts, but not with the Enfold specific Portfolio Items. This was forgotten in the integration of the Theme into WP core.
.. “uploaded to”. Images used in Portfolio pages ate not marked as used [unattached]. Only when used in pages the media library shows the “uploaded to” info correctly.
Can this be fixed in the next update of Enfold?
Hi,
Thank you for using Enfold.
I tried to reproduce – but it seems to work fine for me.
Can you create an admin account for us and give us a link to the portfolio and steps to reproduce so we can check?
I can reproduce if I select an already uploaded unattached image – but if I select such an image as featured image for a page in WP Theme 2019 this image is also not attached to the page.
Best regards,
GünterHi,
I created a test portfolio (Enfold Test) and uploaded a featured image (test-embed_) and an image with the “Bild” shortcode (test-embed_ – Kopie).
Both are assigned to the portfolio entry.As I said before, WP does not assign images that are already in the media library – this is also if you use a standard WP theme like 2019 for posts and pages.
Best regards,
GünterThank you Günter. I see your test item. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. We use Enfold to build pages and Portfolio Items. We don’t use HTML directly.
You attached the image from the Media library using a HTML code. We use Enfold with the wonderful “Advanced Layout Editor”.
Enfold should mark the image as attached when I use the Enfold features to build the page. I built a new Portfolio Entry using the Enfold Advance Layout Editor and inserted an image as per normal workflow. The image shows in the Portfolio Item page, but the Media Library says “unattached”.
Your wrote“WP does not assign images that are already in the media library – this is also if you use a standard WP theme like 2019 for posts and pages.”.
If this is true, then the Uploaded To column in the Media Library List view makes no sense at all then, because it is unreliable. How can we get that fixed in WP? I am not familiar with the process. I am sure Enfold programmers are able to solve it.
Hi,
Have a look at https://digwp.com/2012/05/attach-unattached-media-files/
As ths behaviour is a standard WP behaviour – it should not be part of a theme to change this – and the problem is also – you can attacb an image only to one page/post/… What to do with an already attached image?
I will ask Kriesi but I’m sure he does not want to do any changes in core about that.
You can check for plugins (Google: wp plugin attach media to posts).
Best regards,
Günter
