Featured Image Restriction Problem
I have 2500+ listings. Many members are group franchises that want their logo as a featured image. So let's say I represent Target Retail Stores and I upload a Target logo on listing 1, and set it as a Featured Image. No problem. But when I add another 200 locations and want to use the same logo as a featured image, it shows up fine in the thumbnail, but when the listing is expanded, no logo or featured image.
I saw other posts re this issue which says a fix has been in the works for some time now, but I can't wait for the problem to be fixed, so on some listings, I've had to upload the logo repeatedly, and given the fact I need a 50px thumbnail, plus the 300px image for my listing page, and yet another wordpress size for other uses, I'm creating as many as 3 of the same image for every listing, and x 200 listings for Target alone, that's 600 images created, when I only needed 2 -- the thumbnail and the Featured Image.
Pruning my image folders is a huge chore as a result.
What's really frustrating is, let's say I skip the "featured image" tool all together and go straight to the "listing attachment" tool instead. When I open that tool and select the media library as my source, there is no "search button" anymore, so I can't enter the term I want to pull up a previously uploaded image. If it isn't among the most recent of my uploads, I'm SOL. Even if it is, clicking the image and specifying it should be the featured image, has no effect. Still doesn't show on the listing page when expanded.
ANY way we can get this fixed? Using a featured image more than once is important for us all, I should think.
I'm using a child theme (successweb) for Vantage version 1.3.2
