GF Upload Image Showing Default in Media Library WordPress

Reigel Gallarde answers:

I took time in checking your code cause I was curious and found out your problem started in this line.. $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $image_url );

I tried to use your code like this..

and was able to get same as your screenshot..

I went to uploads folder and found nothing...


Now, because I don't know how your GF works (I don't have one), I think you are calling this function too early...
with that being said, $image_url should not be a url but a file path...
If your GF is saving the image in your host like how media library works, I think you should call this function after the saving part when you can get the file path and not the url...

if the $image_url is already saved in your host, you can also try this..

// retrieves the attachment ID from the file URL
function get_attachment_id_from_url( $attachment_url = '' ) {

global $wpdb;
$attachment_id = false;

// If there is no url, return.
if ( '' == $attachment_url )
return;

// Get the upload directory paths
$upload_dir_paths = wp_upload_dir();

// Make sure the upload path base directory exists in the attachment URL, to verify that we're working with a media library image
if ( false !== strpos( $attachment_url, $upload_dir_paths['baseurl'] ) ) {

// If this is the URL of an auto-generated thumbnail, get the URL of the original image
$attachment_url = preg_replace( '/-\d+x\d+(?=\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$)/i', '', $attachment_url );

// Remove the upload path base directory from the attachment URL
$attachment_url = str_replace( $upload_dir_paths['baseurl'] . '/', '', $attachment_url );

// Finally, run a custom database query to get the attachment ID from the modified attachment URL
$attachment_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT wposts.ID FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id AND wpostmeta.meta_key = '_wp_attached_file' AND wpostmeta.meta_value = '%s' AND wposts.post_type = 'attachment'", $attachment_url ) );

}

return $attachment_id;
}

you can then do,

// get the file path
$image_id = get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
$path = get_attached_file( $image_url );

your new get_image_id function would now be like this..

function get_image_id( $image_url, $parent_post_id = 0 ) {

// get the file id
$image_id = get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
// get the file path
$file = get_attached_file( $image_id );

// Check the type of file. We'll use this as the 'post_mime_type'.
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $file ), null );

// get the file path
//$path = parse_url( $image_url, PHP_URL_PATH );

// Get the path to the upload directory.
$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();

// Prepare an array of post data for the attachment.
$attachment = array(
'guid' => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $file ),
'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $file ) ),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);

// Insert the attachment.
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file );

// Make sure that this file is included, as wp_generate_attachment_metadata() depends on it.
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );

// Generate the metadata for the attachment, and update the database record.
if( !is_wp_error( $attach_id ) ) {
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
}
return $attach_id;

}


image below is a sample. You can see how many times I tried.. :)
