Hello John, thank you for your comprehensive response.
I have also invested some time in trying to find a solution to this problem, but unfortunately, I have not been successful. It strikes me as peculiar that there are so few threads with similar issues on the internet, considering it appears to be a fairly common issue.
Nevertheless, I will attempt a few more potential solutions, such as using a hook before the WP function. However, for the time being, I will likely resort to manually uploading a duplicate image.
Once again, I sincerely appreciate your assistance and the time you have dedicated to helping me.
Have a great day!
Best regards,
Radoslav
Hello John, thank you for your response! You have confirmed what I thought.
Do you have any recommended workaround for this issue? I mean, I have tried to hook for the image-edit action so that I can create a physical copy of the image. However, I have not been able to determine the best approach or find any effective workarounds yet.
The only viable solution I can see now is to upload an additional image (a copy of the original) to assign it a different ID.
Thank you!
