File upload field > update image in wordpress library

[pixel016]

Hi everybody,

I have a custom field “upload image” on the user profile page.
When the user upload an image, it appear on the wordpress media library and on a featured image on a custom post.

So the first upload is ok, the image update is ok but when we do the update when there is no new image it removes the old image. (sorry for my english).

I use this code

$thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );

            if ($thumbnail_id == "") {
                  $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename, $post_id);
                  require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
                  $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename );
                  wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
                  set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
            }
            else {
                  $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename, $post_id);
                  require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
                  $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename );
                    wp_delete_attachment($thumbnail_id );
                    wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
                    set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );

            }

The full code :

$filename = get_user_meta($current_user->ID, 'image_profil',true);
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename), null );
                $wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
                $attachment = array(
                   'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename ), 
                   'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
                   'post_title' => $userNickname,
                   'post_content' => $userDescription,
                   'post_status' => 'inherit'
                );

$thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );

if ($thumbnail_id == "") { // Si une image existe pas alors on l'ajoute
                  //error_log('ajout nouvelle image id : '.$thumbnail_id);
                  $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename, $post_id);
                  require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
                  $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename );
                  wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
                  set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
            }
            else { // Sinon on la remplace
                  //error_log('remplacement image id : '.$thumbnail_id);
                  //wp_delete_attachment($thumbnail_id );
                  $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename, $post_id);
                  require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
                  $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename );
                  wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
                  set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attach_id );
            }

Hello,

If your image_profil meta_key is using by UMP, its value already contain /uploads/

Checkout those code:

global $userMeta;

$filename = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'image_profil', true );
$file = $userMeta->determinFileDir( $filename );
$filepath = $file['path'];

$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filepath ), null );

Change your

WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' . $filename

to

$filepath

You can access file url by $file[‘url’]

Thanks.
