    So this would be about the dumbest thing I have seen from a plugin developer for a long time!

    I cannot add images from the Media Library. Only upload new images from my computer. Given that all of the images are in the Media Library, I would love a solution.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    what may seem like a dumb choice, it is actually one of the features that makes GeoDirectory scalable almost infinitely.

    Why? Because for each image added into the Media library WordPress will create 1 row in the wp_post table and several rows in the wp_postmeta table of your database.

    So if for example you have a directory with 10k listings each with 5 pictures in it, you’ll get 50k useless rows in the wp_post table and up to 250k in the wp_postmeta table.

    Imagine what would happen in a directory with millions of listings…

    Thanks

    p.s. the solution could be to download images from the media library in bulk https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-download-your-entire-wordpress-media-library/
