WordPress – Insert images to post without Insert Media Window

1 comment

1. I believe in WordPress 3.9 you can drag and drop directly into wp_editor() – no need for media library so you can hide the button entirely on that post type. Another option is to limit the user-role to what they can and can’t do when it comes to the media library. Check out this answer over at the WordPress StackExchange

   Finally, you can probably limit what the user sees in the media library, meaning only limit it to what they’ve uploaded to that post. You can use this code below:

   /** Media Library - Only Show Images Uploaded To This Post **/
   function media_library_filter(){ 
       ?>
         <script type="text/javascript">
           jQuery(document).on("DOMNodeInserted", function(){
               jQuery('select.attachment-filters [value="uploaded"]').attr( 'selected', true ).parent().trigger('change');
           });
         </script>
       <?php 
   }
   add_action( 'admin_footer-post-new.php', 'media_library_filter' );
   add_action( 'admin_footer-post.php', 'media_library_filter' );
   
   /** Hide Media Library DDL **/
   function hide_select_ddl(){
       ?>
           <style type="text/css">
               div.media-menu a.media-menu-item:nth-child(3) {display:none!important;}
               .media-frame-content .attachment-filters:first-child {
                   display:none;
               }
           </style>
       <?php
   }
   add_action( 'admin_head', 'hide_select_ddl' );
   

   What the above code does it only show images uploaded to the current post. You could go further and before the script is ran, decide to only run it on a post-type or only on a certain user-role. Hopefully this helps!
