Managing Images in Media Library

Images are stored, and can be managed in the Media Library.

Caution

While images can be attached to multiple pages or posts, the original post to which it is attached displays in the Media Library. If an image's original post is deleted, the image will again be unattached. Images in this state are "orphaned" images and will not attach to another post. They must be deleted and re-uploaded to attach the image to another post
