multiple images upload doesn’t work

OK, it seems the problem only appears when I add Custom markup for the “Add another image” link. I I don’t add anything there, the link works.
so this seems like a bug

Glad to help. Can you let me know the markup you are adding to the custom setting? That would enable me to try it and investigate what’s happening, etc.

I simply added some text ‘add one more mage’, nothing else. but it seems if I add some custom text, it will only show text, not the link

Yeah so what that setting does is replaces the default link. So if you only add text, then that text is what will replace the link. Instead try using an actual link, something like:

<a href="#" id="usp_add-another" class="usp-js">add one more mage</a>

And then you can customize the link text to be that or whatever makes sense.

I see. it wasn’t clear there that I have to add the link as well, I thought just the anchor. Plus, I wouldn’t know what link to add, so maybe it’s worth specifying there
thanks for the fast help

Sure that is a great idea. Here is what the setting description says currently:

Custom markup for the “Add another image” link. Leave blank to use the default markup (recommended).

How would you recommend improving it, what would make it more clear? Without being too verbose, etc.

Well, I don’t know, maybe something like:
“Add another image” link. Your custom anchor for: add one more mage
Leave blank to use the default markup (recommended).”

some people don’t really know what ‘markup’ is ??

Alright thanks for your input, will find a way to make it more clear.

Hello Jeff,

I am having the same problem. If i leave the field blank (i.e. the recommended). when you use the front end to add another image, it is clickable… however, it simply takes you to the top of the page.(i.e. so you cannot add another image, if you click browse again, it replaces the current image).

When i put your code in above, it also takes you to top of the page when you enter on the add another image.

I don’t quite understand the anchor / link reference above. I assume licking the “add another image ” default option would allow me to browse for another image after that?

Hi Kenny,

It’s difficult to say without actually looking at the form. But in general when this sort of thing happens, it means there is some JavaScript conflict on the page.

Thanks Jeff, goodness knows.

The bug -or the feature- is that you only can select one image to post. The link “Add another image” doesn’t really add another image.

Is it possible to make it possible to choose several images by clicking on the button “Choose file(s)”?

@newsbee the “Add another image” link displays another File field. So the user can upload more than one image. As many as are allowed based on the plugin settings.

“Is it possible to make it possible to choose several images by clicking on the button “Choose file(s)”?”

It is an interesting idea, but not a current feature of the free version of USP.

Hello,
I have the same problem with @kennywilliamson.
The field “Add another image” link is blank, and when I click on a link I am taken to the top of the page and my url from https://mydomain.com/something becomes https://mydomain.com/something/#
Do you still believe that it may be javascript conflict?
Thank you,
Best regards,
Dragana

@draganaj It’s probably a JavaScript error on the page. You can use a free browser extension to check for JS errors. Also make sure to check that the setting “Add another image link” is blank/empty.
