    I have contacted WP All Import’s support team and they are telling me this is an issue with your import plugin. Every time I run an import, it duplicates the “featured image”. I don’t see any other setting to check to stop this. Any help?

    Another part of this question is how can I import multiple images? I can only put one field in the featured image field and the images that are imported in the “Other options” field for images do not get associated into the GD gallery.

    Are you using our WP All Import Integration Addon?

    Hello,

    can you share an extract from your import file?

    For image handling, there is a single post_images field that expects input similar to the built in importer:

    I will ask the developers to follow up if they have something to add.

    Hi Alex. Yes the same import will run daily picking up new activities and updating rates for the activities. So each time the import runs (doing it manually at this time) the featured image in the GeoDirectory settings gets re-imported and leaves a duplicate in the media library.

    So yes it is a saved import job and we are re-running it using the same data most of the time unless the client makes any pricing updates.

    I will send a link and login information so you can access and run the import separately.

    Hey Alex just checking in to see if the developers have had any luck with the image duplication issue we discussed?

    I had an additional question as well. Aside from the featured image (which seems to be handled by geodir all import plugin), are additional attachments / images handled through geodir or all-import plugin? I noticed the geodirectory posts have a different GUI for adding attachments but made me curious if this was part of the problem.
