Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Upgrade for Unattach and Re-attach Media Attachments version 1.2.2 as active, updated 4y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.0.
Overview
About this plugin
WordPress allows to attach (or assign) images and other attachments organized within the Media Library to posts and pages.
A file will automatically be attached to a particular post when uploaded using the Add media button in that post. There are also “Attach” links in the Media Library to manually attach files to posts. Once attached there is no way to unattach or re-attach images, pdfs or any attachment in WordPress core.
This plugin fills this gap by providing two additional links next to “Attach” in the Media Library:
Re-Attach: Allows user to choose a new post to attach the media file.
Unattach: Totally removes an existing relation between an attachment and a post.
Bulk Actions
The plugin also provides bulk actions for unattaching and re-attaching multiple files at once! Just mark the files you want to change, select your desired action from the Bulk Actions dropdown and hit Apply.
Note
My initial issue came from here. Thanks to Unattach and Re-attach Media Attachments which inspired this plugin. Just adding upgrades of the code to the latter so it is safer for use and have fixed some bugs.
