Solution for WordPress versions >= 4.7.4 (4.8) Ticket #31071 introduces patches with new filters to override three possible slow media queries, in the wp_enqueue_media() function: media_library_show_audio_playlist (@param bool|null) From the inline doc: Whether to show the button, or null to decide based on whether any audio files exist in the media library. media_library_show_video_playlist (@param bool|null) … Read more
Function Reference/wp insert attachment $image_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $parent_post_id ); This function will return an image id which you can use for the featured image. update_post_meta($post_id, “_thumbnail_id”, $image_id);
After struggling around for days through the poorly documented media modal source code and using code from the gist (thanks, Fabien), I came up with a solution: JS: wp.media.controller.Custom = wp.media.controller.State.extend({ initialize: function(){ this.props = new Backbone.Model({ custom_data: ” }); this.props.on( ‘change:custom_data’, this.refresh, this ); }, refresh: function() { this.frame.toolbar.get().refresh(); }, // called when the … Read more

But let’s see if it’s possible 🙂 We can in general let WordPress choose the image editor, that depends on modules like GD or Imagick, through: $editor = wp_get_image_editor( $file ); but this can … Read more
Here’s an alternative technique to manipulating the template. I adapted the solution below from this post. In the approach below, the print_media_templates hook, which is triggered at the bottom of wp-includes/media-template.php, is used to output some JavaScript that removes the default image details underscores template (<script type=”text/html” id=”tmpl-image-details”>) and replaces it with a duplicated version … Read more
Its not recommended often enough, but Flickr is an excellent image host for blogs as well. Their pro account costs only $25/year. You get unlimited image, video uploads and no bandwidth limit. If you don’t want your blog image uploads populating your personal photostream, you can easily create a separate account for it. You can … Read more
First, its not a bug. Its by design. Second, you can try this plugin – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/
You could also use ‘post_parent’ => 0. All unattached attachments are assigned ‘post_parent’ = 0. Here is where I found that. I’m sure that there is a more authoritative resource somewhere, but this worked for me. 🙂
No, it won’t create a new image that is exactly the same size.. nor should it. All the thumbnail, medium, and large images are resized images, by definition. Since the original image is already 600×600, there’s no point in creating another file at the same size, but with a lower quality (remember that JPEG compression … Read more
