    Dear Friends,

    I was uploading an image and there was a problem during the upload. Some minutes later I noticed that the image was multiplying itself automatic. Every reload of the page and there ware more 20…40… Now its more than 300!!!

    I didn’t found any issue related. I desactivated the theme and went back to the Twenty Four. I also desactivated all plugins. But nothings seems to help.

    Any idea what should i do to fix this problem?

    PS: I deleted more than once all the images, but they come back. It’s like a f*** virus.

  • Hi Felansil,

    I have the same problem. I see that your post has been resolved but I can’t see a solution.

    If you have a solution sharing it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Mirko

    Same here! One particular media (gif image) is multiplying every time i scroll down the media library page.
    Funny thing is that it just shows that is multiplying in media library, but it doesn’t really do in media folder on server side. There is just a single copy of the mentioned gif file.

    WP 4.0

    Hello,

    I resolved this issue updating WPML plugins to the latest version. then you can upload photos to media without duplication and all works well. Then you should delete all the wrong created images/links in media library. You can do it “quickly” by the bulk actions and showing 80-100 files per page in screen options. Take care and don′t delete the valid images.

    I think that there are faster ways to do it via Mysql but for beginners as me is easier and more safety to do it manually.

    You have instructions in order to update the WPML plugins in WPML pages.

    ——

    Latest versions of the most common WPML plugins TODAY (24/09/14) are:

    3.1.7.2 WPML Multilingual CMS
    2.0.9.1 WPML String Translation
    1.9.6 WPML Translation Management
    2.1.6 WPML Media

    You can check the latest versions of WPML plugins and compare with your versions in WPML page.

    I hope I help anybody with this information. ??

    Best regards from Spain!

    I have had the same problem, I uploaded some images and now I have 100’s of them, each time I delete them they just re-appear immediately, I updated all Plugins including the WPML Plugins but still the problem is there.

    Can someone please help me.

    Best Regards

    New WPML version solved my issue but I had to reinstall whole platform. It was not a big deal because it happened on a beginning of development, unfortunately abandoned few days later…

    You might try disabling WPML Media because that one cause the trouble. While disabled, try to fix faulty content in Media Library. Delete new media files and re-upload them once again.
    If you succeed, do not reactivate WPML Media plugin until update whole WPML all together.

    Hope this will be helpful…
