1) Overview
Duplicate Media adds a Duplicate action link to the Media Library list view.
It lets you quickly copy any attachment (e.g., an image) into a new file and attachment post.
The plugin duplicates the physical file, regenerates metadata, and copies the original ALT text when available.
2) Requirements & Compatibility
-
WordPress 5.4 or newer (recommended 5.8+).
-
User capability: upload_files (typically Editor, Author, or Administrator).
-
Translations are loaded automatically from the /languages directory.
3) Installation
-
Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and select the ZIP file.
-
Click Install Now, then Activate.
-
After activation, it is recommended to enter your license key (see Section 4) to enable automatic updates.
Updates: the plugin checks for updates from Lieska’s update service and installs them normally via WordPress.
4) License (Lifetime) & Updates
-
The license is lifetime — pay once, use forever.
-
Enter your license under Settings → Lieska Plugin Licenses, anchor #duplicate-media.
-
If the license is missing, you’ll see a dashboard notice and a reminder in the plugin update message.
5) Usage
5.1 Media Library (List View)
-
Open Media → Library in list view (not grid).
-
Hover over a file and click Duplicate.
-
When successful, you’ll see a confirmation alert and the page reloads.
The duplicated file appears as a new attachment with its own copy of the original file.
What is duplicated?
-
The file is copied into the current uploads directory with a unique name
(format:*-copy-<timestamp>.ext
). -
WordPress regenerates metadata using
wp_generate_attachment_metadata()
. -
The ALT text is copied if the original had one.
5.2 Notes & Limitations
-
The Duplicate action appears only in list view, not grid view.
-
Security: the plugin checks user capability and a nonce for each request.
-
If file copying fails (e.g., permissions issue), an error message is displayed.
6) Settings
Duplicate Media does not add a separate settings page.
You can manage the license centrally via:
Settings → Lieska Plugin Licenses → #duplicate-media
7) Security & Maintenance
-
Uses the standard wp_upload_dir() path for all copies.
-
Performs full nonce and capability checks.
-
Ensure that the uploads directory is writable on your server.
-
The plugin does not communicate with external APIs or external servers.
8) Troubleshooting
Problem | Possible Cause & Solution |
---|---|
“You do not have permission.” | User role lacks upload_files capability. |
“Attachment not found / File not found.” | The original file was deleted or moved. |
“Uploads directory is not available.” | Check wp_upload_dir() paths and permissions. |
“File copy failed.” | File system permissions, quotas, or disk space issue. |
“Failed to create the attachment.” | Database insert or metadata generation failed. |
Translations not loaded. | Verify that the /languages folder and files exist. |
9) FAQ
Q: Does it copy image sizes and metadata?
A: Yes. The plugin regenerates all image sizes and metadata via WordPress core functions.
Q: Does it keep the ALT text?
A: Yes, if the original attachment has an ALT value.
Q: Where do I enter my license?
A: Go to Settings → Lieska Plugin Licenses → #duplicate-media.
Q: Does it require an OpenAI API key?
A: No. Duplicate Media works fully offline and makes no API calls.
(Other Lieska plugins such as AI Alt Text require an API key.)
Q: Does it support CRON or WP-CLI?
A: No background jobs — duplication is always triggered manually from the Media Library.
