How to attach images to a post / custom post type? #191

Closed dirkil closed 3 years ago

dirkil commented 4 years ago

Hi there!

I guess I have a rather simple question but nevertheless I cannot get it to work.

I created a custom post type and now I want to:

I managed to upload an image by calling: client.Media.Create(path, name)

Therefore I would appreciate if someone can explain to me how I can attach an uploaded image to my custom post type and how to set an image as the featured image.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Dirk

You should be able to set the ID of your uploaded file as FeaturedMedia on your post object. So something like this (untested code):

var media = await client.Media.Create(path, name);
var post = await client.Posts.Get(id);
post.FeaturedMedia = media.Id;
await client.Posts.Update(post);
