Attach Image from media library

    Hello,

    i′m trying to select an image from the media library… but this is not working like it should.
    When i upload a new image it′s working correct.

    What i notice aswell i that after selecting the image from the library the image is copied (blank though) into the media library.

    When i try to open the “new” image into a browser window i can see that the url is not right:

    /wp-content/uploads/sites/2/sites/2/2014/10/logo-150×80.gif

    I guess “/sites/2/” should only be there ones!
    How to fix this?

    Isn′t it possible to just select an image from the media library without copying the image to the library each time?

    I have like 100 pages where i want to insert Thirsty affiliates – links with a logo (logo is every time the same, but url should be different each time). I don′t like to have 100 plus times the same logo in my media library !

    Hope there is a way to fix it.

    Thanks

  • Hi kapppa,

    When you add an image to a link in ThirstyAffiliate we make a copy of the attachment using the same image file, so while there are two attachments, there is only ever one image file. Reason for this is to get around the WordPress core restriction that you can’t attach an image to more than one post (ie. if you have an image attached to a post already, you can’t attach it to a link as well).

    We’re working on a better way to handle this, but for now that’s how it is.

    Re the issue with the address, do you have your permissions set correctly? It’s odd that it has the subdirectory like that.

    Is your WordPress installed in a different directory or anything unusual with your installation I should know about while trying to replicate this?

    Cheers,
    Josh

    Hi there,

    thanks for your reply.

    I′m trying to use it in a multisite installation.

    The permissions are correct, i′ve checked them twice.

    Gr.

    Ahh ok. We don’t officially support multisite yet, but I’ve been told it mostly works as it is.

    This could be a situation where it may be having some issues, but I won’t know until we look deeper into it.

    If we get some time before the next release we will investigate this, but we are planning on support multisite at some stage in the future (possibly the next major release).

    Cheers,
    Josh
