Image Upload for Guest Post

    Hi,

    I discovered 2 things when trying to upload featured image for guest post.

    1st, when I upload a picture, it is immediately saved in the server before form submission. This could lead to potential misuse when some people might just upload hundreds of files without submitting the form, which use up lots of server’s space. In addition, these files are ophaned and not attached to any post.

    2nd, clicking the delete/trash button on the uploaded picture does not delete it from the server. So, if I delete picture A and upload picture B, picture A will still remain in the server, which use up space. I am using Chrome v73.

    On IE 11, the form hanged when I click on the delete/trash button. Can’t input anything. I have to reload page. The uploaded picture remains in the server.

    On iphone 6, no picture is shown. It says “Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons. It seems that the form does not support IOS High Efficiency format.

    That’s all. Thank you

    Hello @johnny18sg,

    It’s very obvious and WordPress is doing this too. If you upload some image on WP post in the backend the images will be uploaded into the server directly without the publish button action.

    If you are talking about deleting the image from the WPUF frontend by delete button, then yes deleting the image from here, will delete the image just from the post, will not delete the images from the server. You do need to delete from the WP Media library to delete the image completely.

    Thanks.
