Title: Multiple image insert Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Multiple image insert * [callmeforsox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunscream/) * (@sunscream) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/) * I have noticed that a few people have been asking for the ability to insert all images at once with the new media uploader instead of clicking, opening, clicking, opening, etc. * In one thread there was a simple hack of the wp-admin/includes/media.php which allowed the window to stay open so you wouldn’t have to keep on opening and closing it. * I thought that was still too cumbersome so I finally had the time to look into it and hacked the media.php file some more. The version I modified allows you to insert all images with one click as well as select which ones you want to insert. Apart from this, it also has a few minor personal modifications. * I just wanted to know if 1) there was still any interest in this or if the upcoming version of WordPress addresses this issue and 2) whether I’m allowed to post this somewhere.

It should be working, but just in case something conflicts, you’ll catch it. * Modifications include: * Default link location changed to post url from link url * Checkboxes and Insert selected in the post Gallery view * Default “thumbnail” selected instead of “medium” * This is the media.php file for wp-admin/includes/media.php. Not to be confused with wp-includes/media.php * [think2wice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/think2wice/) * (@think2wice) * [17 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-image-insert/#post-783096) * This saves so much time! From the checkbox-styled insert, to the default location changing from link url to post url, and “thumbnail” being selected by default.

Let me know if it still messes up. For some reason, I can’t reproduce the error on my end.
