REMOVE gallery image without deleting ?!?!?!

  • I realize the WP native gallery is a work-in-process, but this is one of those stupid obvious things that should be fixed…

    In the WP native gallery, deleting an image from a gallery deletes the image from the Media Library (i.e. completely deleted from the server)

    Is there a fix/hack/whatever for the WP native gallery that provides a <REMOVE> function for galleries that does NOT delete images entirely from the server?!?!?!?

    Thank you…

  • I’m not aware of anything that does this, but a publish/draft setting would be nice.

    You could use phpMyAdmin to remove the association between the image and the relevant post but, for the life of me, I can’t remember which table(s) and field(s) you’d need to edit right now.

    Another option would be to re-upload the image using Admin/Media/Add New. That places the image in the Media Library but does not associate it with any post and, therefore, any gallery.
