Detach & Re-Attach Media Attachment Images from Posts
-
Is there a way to 1. detach and 2. reattach attachment-images from one post to another post?
There are two very common ways of uploading an image to WordPress to place it into the Media Gallery.
- Via “add New” under the Media Tab in the admin.
- Inserting an image when writing a post and uploading the image from the overlay Media window/layer.
On upload alone, the first method does NOT attach the uploaded image to any particular post, but one manually attaches it later.
The second method attaches the uploaded image to the post it was uploaded through.When I use the first method, there is a way to sort the listing for “unattached images” which you can select and then attach to a particular post. However, there is no way afterwards, to detach and re-attach an image, without altogether deleting that image from the Media gallery and re-uploading it and attaching it to a different post.
This is an entirely inefficient process, and while I appreciate all of the hard work that the WordPress team is putting in to making WordPress have media-gallery abilities, I think that a native WordPress option to detach and re-attach images to posts should be inserted into the base code to complete this functionality already half-offered.
In the meantime, does anyone know of a plugin, php script or coding approach to attach, detach and reattach/re-assign images within the Media gallery that WordPress already has built into it?

Oh as well, it would be nice if we could assign/attach one image to multiple posts.
I’m looking to resolve the same issue.
Bump… Same here.
Ineed, detaching/reattaching and attaching to multiple posts would be great features.
facing the same problem here, hope to see an improvement on next update.
Hope this will enhanced on next release…
I want attach image to a post… but not inserted into post..
and i will call that image to post via attachment calling function…It will make easy for photo album site, and make a gallery per post..

This would be awesome, think of a multilingual site (you have duplicated post in each language and you can attach the same image to both).
BUMP!!
This plug-in (below) is the best I can find to handle detaching attachments. But you could only do it in the Library page, though.
The ticket in trac has been downgraded and will likely linger.
It’s a pretty important but simple feature for managing media rich sites.
For me this featur would really be important and I can’t imagine why it is not already there? For me this sounds much more important than a builtin image-editor?
Maybe I’ll try to write a plugin to do that detach thing.
That WordPress Media Library Plugin looks great, mixed with Faster Image Insert and superslider-media-pop which adds all available image sizes to the insert image panel.
Unfortunately the WordPress Media Library Plugin doesn’t work yet in WP version 3.0, at least not the de-attach function.
I’d really like to be able to create a custom gallery from the files in my media library at any time. Multiple galleries per post as well. Wouldn’t that be a more logical approach anyway?
There is a ticket for the idea of the original concept of this thread in the trac.
