    Hi,

    Great plugin.
    I want to attach the uploaded image to the current post/page, so I have enabled “Attach Uploaded Files To Post”. My shortcode is now: [wordpress_file_upload postlink="true"]

    But after uploading an image it’s not added to that post/page. Am I missing something?

    By the way, WP is misspelled in my dashboard (with lowercase p). 😉

    Hi again,

    I do notice in my media library that image is added to a post/page, but it’s not added to the content of that post/page. Is that somehow possible?

    Good morning,

    Yes indeed, these are two different things.

    When you see in Media Library that an image is added in a post, according to WordPress terminology it is attached to the page. This means that it is linked to the page, but it is not added to the page content.

    You can have more than one images attached to a page.

    There are several ways to show in a page the images that are attached. The simplest one is to add the WordPress shortcode [gallery] inside the page. Then the attached images will show up as a gallery.

    Best Regards

    Nickolas

    Yes, that does the trick! I always thought the gallery shortcode must always contain the image ID’s, but only attaching images to this page works just fine.

    Thanks Nickolas!
