 * Hello, I’m relatively new to woo, but my client has a datafeedr/woo/WP stack.
   What mechanism in woo/WP controls which of the woo store images are shown in 
   the WP media library?
 * Thank you

 * Hi there,

 * I’m not sure I understand your question. You can upload product images to the
   media library, but they won’t be linked to a WooCommerce product until you edit
   the product and add the product image. Or you can edit the product and add the
   image by uploading a new image into the media library at that point.

 * Essentially there is a store made up of woo products. Historically the images
   for those products were not showing in the WP media library. Now they are all
   being shown in the media library. In fact the media library is now showing every
   image that exists in the ‘Uploads’ directory, where as before it wasn’t. What
   would need to change to see this behaviour in the WP Media Library?

 * Out of the box, all images that you use on the product gallery will be part of
   your site’s media library. That is the expected, default behavior.
 * You mention this is not how it was working before, but I wouldn’t know what would
   make the site act like that. Any images that you upload to your website, whether
   they are intended for a product, a post or a page; they will all appear as part
   of your Media Library, which is the place where all media is concentrated.
