Title: Multiple image insert Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Multiple image insert * [callmeforsox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/) * (@sunscream) * [17 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/) * I have noticed that a few people have been asking for the ability to insert all images at once with the new media uploader instead of clicking, opening, clicking, opening, etc. * In one thread there was a simple hack of the wp-admin/includes/media.php which allowed the window to stay open so you wouldn’t have to keep on opening and closing it. * I thought that was still too cumbersome so I finally had the time to look into it and hacked the media.php file some more. The version I modified allows you to insert all images with one click as well as select which ones you want to insert. Apart from this, it also has a few minor personal modifications. * I just wanted to know if 1) there was still any interest in this or if the upcoming version of WordPress addresses this issue and 2) whether I’m allowed to post this somewhere.

Now it works and inserts images very nice. * You are the best! 😉 * [incite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/incite/) * (@incite) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783191) * With your adaptation would you know how to customise the “Media Library” tab so that you can edit the changes such as alt tag in a picture, then hide, then make the changes to the next one using show and hide, then using the tick boxes be able to incorporate the “Insert selected images” function from your hack into the page of the Media Library Tag? * So basically i upload the files as normal, then with the images that are listed i would select show, make the relevant changes select hide, and do this to all the images i wish to insert. I would then tick the select boxes for each image and click an “Insert selected images” button. * Would you have any idea on how this could be done? You seem to have the basis of what i need, unfortunately i need to modify the alt tags and sometimes modify image sizes according to the image. * Brilliant work by the way, have you tried provoking a dev through the links provided here: [http://trac.wordpress.org/](http://trac.wordpress.org/) * Your time is much appreciated and so is your knowledge!!! * Thread Starter [callmeforsox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/) * (@sunscream) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783192) * [@incite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/incite/) * Have you tried it yet? I think when you click insert selected after you finished modifying your alt tags, etc., it will save your edits and insert the images. * I haven’t tested it yet, but I thought I did this one time. * [David Frank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitinn/) * (@bitinn) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783198) * [@sunscream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/) I recently written a [similar plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/faster-image-insert/) that has the same function without hacking the core; feedback has been good, you mind taking a look at it ? * [helorits](https://wordpress.org/support/users/helorits/) * (@helorits) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783206) * hey [@sunscream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/). I installed your plugin, but it didn’t show up here… * Navigate to post/page editing panel, a Fast Insert metabox should appear (Optional) Change options in “Settings” menu * [hoolian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hoolian/) * (@hoolian) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783214) * [@sunscream](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/) * hey thank you, I found this very helpful cuz I dont have to install any gallery plug in, and users can insert images in a post and the align the in css like a thumbnail list with a little bit of [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-highslide/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-highslide/) and [http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts](http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts), I used custom fields for gallery descriptions, and [http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/how-to-integrate-a-pagination-in-your-wordpress-theme](http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/how-to-integrate-a-pagination-in-your-wordpress-theme) pagination for “album navigation” which really are posts under the category “ albums” * thank you! yo made my independent gallery system work with success! cheers * PD: not like the [@bitinn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitinn/) plug in, it mixed all the uploaded images into one gallery, so all my upload were merged and when I wanted to put a second post there was annoing to select again * [fcgrabo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fcgrabo/) * (@fcgrabo) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/page/2/#post-783215) * I have downloaded and used the media.php zip mod once and it worked fine. It would save me a ton of time. * However I must have the images centered and in medium. * I will scour the .php file to see if I can find where to make the changes unless someone can pinpoint the location. * Thanks. This’ll be great.
