Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We’ll look into this error and fix it in the next release. If we need any more info from you, we’ll let you know here.
Just to add to what I needed to do to get the images to show. I would bring the post up on my iPad where I composed the post and on my iphone. I would then id the missing photos on my iPhone and then replace or insert the image again.
On another note, sometimes it takes several times to insert an image (my issue) and I will get the message that the image exists in my media folder. But then, I need to search through MANY images to find the image. Suggest that in a future upgrade you offer the user the ability to insert the image from the media folder WITHOUT the user needing to search for it.
Many thanks ROBERT
Hi, Robert,
We’re planning to release a new version of the plugin in the next few weeks that should fix the fatal error you encountered.
Regarding searching through the media library to find a duplicate – at one point, this plugin included a feature that would automatically select the original image when the user attempted to upload a duplicate, but unfortunately, updates to the WP media library and block editor broke that functionality, and the pace of WP core development has been such that we aren’t able to reliably modify media library behavior like that without our modifications breaking again. I think in your situation, I would recommend turning off the “block duplicate uploads” feature in the plugin settings, so that you can upload files without issue, and then periodically using Smart Delete to clean up any duplicates that you might unintentionally upload.
Closing this thread as the issue was fixed in Media Deduper 1.5.7.
