This’ll add a slug field to the edit attachment page, which’ll allow you to independently change it when and how you choose to. Drop it into a plugin or your theme’s functions.php; function wpse_12405_edit_attachment_name( $fields, $post ) { $fields[‘post_name’] = array( ‘label’ => __( ‘Slug’ ), ‘value’ => $post->post_name, ); return $fields; } add_filter( ‘attachment_fields_to_edit’, … Read more
WordPress multisite’s “Upload Path” should be set to a server-relative path (e.g. /home/serveraccountname/public_html/wp-content/uploads). The “Upload URL Path” should be the URI (e.g. http://example.com/wp-content/uploads). Ignore the /sites/1/ fragment for sub-sites – WordPress will add these automatically.
I ran into this problem and ended up creating a basic function to extract the “attached” media by URL from the body of the post (in my case a post of type document, but it should work with any kind of post): function get_first_link_url($post_id) { $content = get_post_field(‘post_content’, $post_id); if ($content == null) { return … Read more
As you’ve noted it’s not possible out of the box. The feature was supposed to make it into 2.9, got postponed until 3.2, and assuming they reject the post2post table mike and I crave for it’ll probably be postponed again. You’ll have better luck creating a custom taxonomy in the meanwhile, and “tagging” images tied … Read more
This ought to do it: function wpse15750_comment_check( $id ){ if( get_post_type( $id ) == ‘attachment’ ) exit; } add_action( ‘pre_comment_on_post’, ‘wpse15750_comment_check’ ); EDIT Ignore the above. That will stop new comments, but to do what you want, this is much better: function wpse15750_comments_closed( $open, $id ){ if( get_post_type( $id ) == ‘attachment’ ) return false; … Read more
I believe the following is happening here: As @Luke pointed out, wp_insert_attachment() takes an array of post data. The format of the array you are passing to it is not correct. The keys are different. What should be stored as the post_mime_type, is being passed with the key type. Because of this, no mime type … Read more
The plugin Image Widget uses it. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/image-widget/
Would some form of this solution work? Capistrano: Managing an uploads folder describes a way to update the symlink when deploying so you don’t lose the uploads folder.
I eventually worked this out. After a lot of thinking it dawned on me that attachments are merely posts assigned to the post_type of ‘attachment’ so then I soon discovered that attachments have a post_content field, as well as a post_title field. For my needs, I only needed the post_title attribute as my descriptions are … Read more
I was able to cobble something together. I feel like there is a better approach to solving this, but that it might help to share my progress anyway. The main trick came from this answer by @Vladimir Lukyanov. My main concern with this solution is that the unselect event, “selection:unsingle”, is triggered twice. I was … Read more
