* I’m a bit confused about image handling. I’m not sure if what I’m seeing is the
way it SHOULD be or if its a bug.
I’m broadcasting from siteA.com to siteB.com.
The post I’m broadcasting has an image placed using WPs default Add Media button.
Here is the example code from the post on site1.com: `[caption id="attachment_3911"
align="alignleft" width="1313"]
Dancers Rehearse[/caption]`
* After broadcasting, here is the same code as it appears on siteB.com:
`[caption
id="attachment_3998" align="alignleft" width="1313"]
Dancers Rehearse[/caption]`
* Now siteB.com has an entry in the Media library (ID 3998) which lists the file
URL for this file as:
`http://siteB.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Square-Dancers.
jpg` but its displaying a broken image icon because Square-Dancers.jpg does not
exist in that location within siteB.com’s uploads folder. I can’t find it anywhere
in siteB.
* The image in the broadcasted post is still displaying properly, because it is
still linking to the image on siteA.com.
* So my question is, what is supposed to happen that isn’t? Either:
A. the image
is supposed to be getting copied to siteB in the location listed in the file
url field in the Media Library entry. AND the url in the post should be changed
to that url as well. B. The media library entry should be keeping the file url
the pointing to the file on siteA, so that it doesn’t appear to have a broken
image link. C. There shouldn’t be a media library entry created at all.
* I feel that something isn’t working as intended, but I’m not certain what’s intended.
I can live with the result for now, since my images are appearing in the siteB
posts (linked to the images stored on siteA), but I don’t like having those broken
images showing up in siteB’s media library.
* Any ideas?

* To answer your question:
* The image should exist on siteB.
* If it doesn’t exist there then something went wrong. A debug dump might tell
us what didn’t work.
* The img tag src property is not automatically modified. If you have used a gallery
shortcode the media on siteB would be automatically referenced.
* I have written some documentation pertaining to attachments and media and what
not. Have a read and get back to me on whether it is any good.

* So I’m guessing I need to UN-broadcast the post(s), then turn debugging on, then
re-broadcast in order to get that debug dump? Would that be the correct procedure?

* You can simply rebroadcast.
