Is there a way to find all pages/posts where an image is displayed?

    I thought the

      Uploaded To

    field/column in the media library would help me find all pages/posts where an image is displayed, however, I read the field description here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/media-library-screen/ where it says “If the Media has been attached to more than one Post or Page, only the details of the first Post or Page will be displayed.”

    So, that will find one post/page but not all. In addition, I have several pages where a page banner image from the media library is used but the

      Uploaded To

    field/column for that image in the media library says the image is

      Unattached

    .

    Actually, I’m asking three things.
    Is there a way to find all pages/posts where an image is displayed?
    Why would some images in my library that are used on pages show as

      Unattached

    in the

      Uploaded To

    field?
    If an image is used on 2 pages/posts and I delete the first page/post shown in

      Uploaded To

    , should that field then show the next page where the image is used, or will it revert to

      Unattached

    ?

    Sorry for the messed up formatting in the original post. Let me try again.

    I thought the “Uploaded To” field/column in the media library would help me find all pages/posts where an image is displayed, however, I read the field description here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/media-library-screen/ where it says “If the Media has been attached to more than one Post or Page, only the details of the first Post or Page will be displayed.”

    So, that will find one post/page but not all. In addition, I have several pages where a page banner image from the media library is used but the “Uploaded To” field/column for that image in the media library says the image is “Unattached.”

    Actually, I’m asking three things.

    1. Is there a way to find all pages/posts where an image is displayed?

    2. Why would some images in my library that are used on pages show as “Unattached” in the “Uploaded To” field?

    3. If an image is used on 2 pages/posts and I delete the first page/post shown in “Uploaded To”, should that field then show the next page where the image is used, or will it revert to “Unattached?”

    Hi there,

    We can’t help directly because we don’t host plymouthucc.church on our WordPress.com managed hosting. As a result, we can’t take a closer look at your site.

    Instead your host (Siteground) uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com. Specifically, we use a custom media library manager that does not show an “attached” column, which was my other clue that you might have your WordPress site through another provider.

    The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    The folks in the open-source forums are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
