  Does anyone else get a duplicate image when they upload image on WP? I have searched for fixes but none have been useful yet.
  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Where does the duplicate appear?

  When I upload the image on the publisher. I get a large image at the top and a small image at the bottom. It appears on when you preview and publish.

  I haven’t heard of that result before. Let me tag the topic for staff attention. Please wait for staff to respond here.

  Hi there,

  I wanted to get your permission to see if I can try and replicate this issue under your account? I’ll upload a stock image to test things and see if I get the same results as you have with the duplicate image – let me know.

  In the meantime, if you can replicate what you see when you upload an image and make a screenshot of the issue, I can better identify what is going on – especially if I cannot replicate it on my end.

  Let me k now if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Depending on the theme you’re using, you might see duplicate images on single posts. If that happens, you can adjust the settings in your Customizer‘s Content Options settings for Featured Images.

  In what theme were you seeing duplicate images? If you let me know, I can tell you which specific checkbox to uncheck.

  Hi thanks for your reply. I am using the Baskerville 2 theme.

  Could you provide a link to a post or page where you’re seeing duplicate images? Just did some spot-checking but not seeing any.

  I have just set up a test in the link above where you will be able to see the duplication. This happens everytime I insert a picture.

  Got it – thanks for the example!

  Go into your Customizer‘s Content Options panel, and uncheck the box next to “Automatically use first image in post.”

  Let me know how it goes.

  Thanks a bunch! You’re a great help. The image appears not to be duplicating any longer.

  Thanks Kathryn!
