  Unattached files in my media library won’t attach even after following steps suggested in guide.

  I select the files and attach them to a post. But they continue to show up in the unattached section of my media library.

  If I delete them they become deleted as featured images from my posts.

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

  Hi there,

  You should be able to attach an image to a post through one of two ways:

  1. Uploading an image directly to a post or page (not to your Media Library)
  2. Using the “Uploaded To:” column on your Media page here:

     https://mindfulfitnessmovement.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?orderby=parent&order=asc

  Regardless of whether or not you “attach” an image, it will be removed from your posts and pages when you delete it from your Media Library. Attaching an image does not prevent it from being removed if the file is deleted. Does that make sense?

  You can read a bit more about the unattached files here:

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
