Attachments dropping off

    Hello,

    I don’t have much information relating to what could be causing this so I’m hoping you might have seen this happen before.

    Many pages in our website have attachments and they are referenced with the shortcake [attachments include =”14121″] for example…

    From time to time, it happens that some attachments just drop off the published page… so even though they are referenced, nothing appears, so I go to the page editor, then scroll down to the WP Better Attachments tab and they are not there, they disappeared.

    I have manually fixed this many times now, but I can’t seem to figure out what is causing them to drop off, as our website is quite big and there are many attachments scattered through the whole site.

    Have you seen this happen before? do you know what could be causing this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Greetings,

    More than likely it is because by default in WordPress an attachment can only be added to one post. So far I have not deferred but I would like to soon. So for the time being the only way to attach a file to more than one post is to re-upload the file for every post. Maybe try this out by making 2 draft posts and attaching a file to one then try attaching it to the other post to see what happens. Let me know what you find out or if you need any more help.

    Thanks,
    Dan
