Can Not Upload Featured Image With Same Filename
-
It is not a major issue – we can just change the filename to be a unique name before uploading – but it’s not clear to the user that this is the case, and if there are multiple users then they may not know the filename was already used.
When you try to set the featured image using the WPUF form, it appears to upload but then displays an image from a previous post that has the same filename. Checking the media library shows the new image was never uploaded.
This doesn’t happen when setting the featured image in the regular WordPress backend editor – it has no problem uploading a file with the same filename as a previously uploaded file, and it correctly sets the featured image on the post.
Again, we can easily work around this, but I wanted to post about it here in case anyone else has similar issues, and maybe some changes can be made in a future update to make it work the same way the WordPress editor works.
