How to add image from theme files to media library after theme activation?
Question
Based on this post – Programmatically adding images to media library I’m trying to add image from my theme to media library, once, after theme activation. My code:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'image_on_theme_install' );
function image_on_theme_install() {
$image_url = get_template_directory_uri().'/media/ml-special-hero-placeholder.jpg';
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$image_data = file_get_contents( $image_url );
$filename = basename( $image_url );
if ( wp_mkdir_p( $upload_dir['path'] ) ) {
$file = $upload_dir['path'] . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . $filename;
}
else {
$file = $upload_dir['basedir'] . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . $filename;
}
file_put_contents( $file, $image_data );
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype( $filename, null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => sanitize_file_name( $filename ),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file );
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
}
Problem: image is added multiple times, in loop, not only once after theme activation. How to do that properly?
