Auto Image Management - Duplicate Image Error?

Hi,

Love the plugin and use it on almost all of my sites! So a big thank you to the developers.

I'm having an issue with the auto image management feature.

Brand new blog. When I add an image to a post (I set it as featured and insert it), it works fine. When I try and use that same image (insert and featured) for a completely different post, I get a black error screen and no info available.

Is the problem because the image has already been used before and is "attached" to another post?

I can successfully force it to work by setting the Full URL, but that defeats my purpose of using automatic image management.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,

Yes, it's because the "Auto" mode doesn't grab the Featured Image, it grabs the first image attachment. Therefore you would need to attach the same image to the post in question. Does that make sense?

Thank you for getting back so quick.

Yes it does make sense – it uses the inbuilt wordpress "gallery" that is created when you upload an image from within the post page.

How come it works for the first time I use the image? I upload the image in the "Media" section of wordpress, then go to the "Post" section and set that image as featured and inserted. When I do it like that, it doesn't create a "gallery" for that post.
