    Hi. I have this function below.

    function add_images($id, $title, $img){
    update_post_meta( $id, 'property_images', 4311);
    }

    the property_images is the id of image advance field. the 4311 is the id of the media. how can i add multiple images on update_post_meta function ? for example i have multiple ids. how to add that and have a multiple image. whenever i make it as an array, it doesnt work.

    Hi Dragos,

    You can use the function add_post_meta() to add more value to a post with the same meta key (field ID). Read more on the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_post_meta/
    https://docs.metabox.io/fields/image-advanced/#data

    Hi long,

    Thank you for the reply. I already tried the add_post_meta, It did work on image gallery, can add multiple values, but theres one issue, if i go to the backend and try to edit it, the property images are not showing, even though theere are pictures on the frontend.

    check this image: https://snipboard.io/JynRTp.jpg

    image above is dine with add_post_meta

    however this one is by manual adding on backend. https://snipboard.io/bZXMe1.jpg

    you can see that there are images showing on the field and add media.

    so problem is when I want to update the images, I cannot do it on the first one because theres no media showing and cannot add also.

    Hi,

    The function add_post_meta() works as well on my local site, please check this screen record https://monosnap.com/file/XPzx3xXkAdjR6wQU9otZGdqI0g7bbu

    Code:

    add_action( 'init', function() {
    add_post_meta( 2192, 'image_advanced_v4mq8tny1nh', 2484, false );
    add_post_meta( 2192, 'image_advanced_v4mq8tny1nh', 2483, false );
    add_post_meta( 2192, 'image_advanced_v4mq8tny1nh', 2481, false );
}, 99 );

    Hi,

    Thank you. it is actually working. i just need to resave the post manually. can I run an action to save it again inside a function call?

    i also have one issue. i follow this tutorial https://metabox.io/display-uploaded-images-as-wordpress-image-gallery/ for converting the iamge advanced to wordpress gallery. the problem is in order for the gallery to show i need to attach each images to specific post. it is not automatically attaching to the post on which it was uploaded.

    check this image: https://snipboard.io/nYQWeq.jpg

    the first one i manually attached to the post, the others shows it is not attached although it was already uploaded to the post.

    Hi,

    If you use the helper function to get images from the custom field, no need to attach the image to a post because this option works like a custom field with the meta key _wp_attached_file.

    hi. the uploading comes from the flowmattic plugin which is not directly attached to the post. the upload comes first then after that it will just create a new post and set the correct images via flowmattic again.

    what i did is to add some function that will attach the media to the post.

    
$attach = array(
'ID' => $img,
'post_parent' => $id
);
wp_update_post( $attach );
clean_attachment_cache($img);
