    We have a “logo” type image that we want to add to multiple (~150) listings. It will not be the ONLY image on some of these, but it will be for the majority of them. These listings are also all in the same category, but many of the listings also have additional categories as well.

    My question is, how is the best way to do this. Short of uploading the same image 150 times. 🙂

    Could I upload it once, grab the URL and then update all the listings via a csv upload?

    I saw somewhere that you could set a default category listing, but I tried that and it didn’t work.

    Open for suggestions. Thanks.

    Hello,

    you could set it as the default category image, or as the ‘no listing’ image.

    I am not sure about doing it with bulk edit, but that makes sense.

    Hey Alex,

    I did set the image as the ‘no listing’ image in that WPGD category, but it is not applying to any of the listings with that category. Is that supposed to add that image to all listings with that category? and does it matter if that specific listing is the ‘primary’ category or not?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    it would only apply if there is not other image associated with the listing, and then yes only for the default category.

    OK, that makes sense. All of these have other primary categories.

    So if I upload a single image to the website, grab that URL and then upload an ‘update’ csv for all of those listings with that image URL as the image, will that work?

    Will it cause any issues with it being in the media library vs. the WPGD library? Or any other issues?

    I’m just trying to keep from uploading the same image 110 different times to 110 different listings.

    Thanks.

    Images for imports must be uploaded/located in the folder with the date of the listing.
