My company has been experiencing an issue with images are intermittently duplicated 3-30 times when uploaded. The images all have creation timestamps within the same 1-3 seconds.
I have been able to recreate this problem in a vanilla WordPress install with the following plugins enabled:
- Classic Editor
- Shortcake (Shortcode UI)
- Any plugin that uses Shortcake - tested with MaxButtons and TK SmugMug Slideshow Shortcode
Steps to reproduce
- Go to a new article
- Click Add Post Element
- Close the Add Post Element box
- Click Add Media
- Upload an image
- You get the error
An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.
- Go to the Media Library and see more than one instance of the image
I was not able to recreate this with Classic Editor disabled. Switching to the new editor is not an option that my company has at the moment.
