    Hello:
    How do I delete multi-images from the media library? I placed one and it has increased to more than 60 duplicate images. Would that have occurred because I use the same image for many events?

    Please see attachment.

    Thank you

    Hi there,

    Have you tried using the “Bulk Select” feature in WP > Media > Library as shown in this screenshot http://prntscr.com/gsckpn ?

    Thanks!

    Also you might be better setting a default category image instead of uploading a image for each one.

    Kor: I overlooked that option. That solution deleted the 162 duplicate photos, it did create 162 empty placeholders with blank images that I can’t delete to move up the other images toward the top of the screen. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Stiofan:
    Good idea, however, to the best of my memory I set up a single photo, apparently incorrectly.
    Thanks for the suggestion though. I will make a note for this event next year to ensure I set up a single default category.

    You might need to export the listings with broken images and remove the broken link and re-import.
