Hi Peter,
thanks for your reply. I realized I need to be a little bit more specific about what I want to do.

Or do you want to edit and update these images constantly? What does your workflow look like?

Some of the images are graphs that are updated or generated every time my python script is triggered, which happens every day at midnight. The raw binary data of the resulting images are currently stored in a MySQL BLOB column (MEDIUMBLOB to be precise). Opening the BLOBS via phpMyAdmin manually works fine but I’m looking for a better solution to display the images and corresponding information.

My thoughts… If your blob solution is working properly, why change…?

My BLOB solution for images sadly doesn’t work. Within the Data Explorer, I can set my BLOB column to the image type (or leave it empty) but they aren’t displayed in WordPress (or the Data Explorer). My idea was to create (and update) jpg files in /wp-content/uploads/ and link them in some way to the database entries. But that requires tinkering with WordPress’s own databases (which probably is a bad idea).

So I was wondering if my use case is a little bit beyond the scope of the Plugin or WordPress in general. Or maybe there is a straightforward solution and I’m just stupid.

Best regards,
schattenan
