Duplicate Image Creation Issue in the Plugin
-
Hello,
I’ve noticed an issue with the plugin when it assigns numbers to image filenames. Here’s an example to illustrate the problem:
I have a product with the name “Sweater Apricot Stripped”, and I assign the image filename sweater-apricot-stripped.jpg through WP All Import.
Your plugin correctly searches for the query “Sweater Apricot Stripped” and associates the image. However, when I have variations of the same product (e.g., sizes S, M, and L) and want to reuse the same image sweater-apricot-stripped.jpg, the plugin downloads identical copies of the image but appends numbers to the filenames, resulting in duplicates like:
- sweater-apricot-stripped.jpg
- sweater-apricot-stripped2.jpg
- sweater-apricot-stripped3.jpg
This clutters the media library with unnecessary duplicates and increases storage usage.
Could you please look into this behavior and let me know if there’s a way to prevent the duplication of identical images?
Thank you for your assistance!
