On my site I have to custom post types and a function that let's users import photos from post type A to post type B, copying the meta values and it copy's the image to the folder specified for post type B ---
<?php
// File: import-pics.php
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-load.php';
global $current_user, $imic_options; // Use global
wp_get_current_user(); // Make sure global is set, if not set it.
$yourID = $current_user->ID;
$propertyID = $_POST['propertyID'];
$vidID = $_POST['videoID'];
$path = '/path/to/wp-content/uploads/'.$yourID.'/'.$vidID;
// Get the attachments (IDs) attached to the `property` CPT.
$prop_att_ids = (array) get_post_meta( $propertyID, 'imic_property_sights', false );
// Copy the meta value (attachments) to the `v_editor` CPT.
$vid_pix = get_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', false ); // test
//delete_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix' );
foreach ( $prop_att_ids as $att_id ) {
add_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', $att_id );
$filename = basename ( get_attached_file( $att_id ));
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $att_id ) : '';
copy($url, $path.'/'.$filename.'.png');
//echo $url;
}
$vid_pix2 = get_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', false ); // test
//var_dump( $vid_pix, $vid_pix2, $url ); // test
?>
The issue Im having now is that the attachment url still for the imported images are still the same as post type A even though I copied the image files over to post type B's folder.
**A -** /wp-content/uploads/2018/10
**B -** $path = '/path/to/wp-content/uploads/'.$yourID.'/'.$vidID;
How can I change the attachment url when importing the images using my above function?

If you want the image's URL to be different, you need to first copy the image file to the user-specific folder and then create a new attachment for that copied image — i.e. clone the image's "post" data.
So replace this:
// Get the attachments (IDs) attached to the `property` CPT.
$prop_att_ids = (array) get_post_meta( $propertyID, 'imic_property_sights', false );
// Copy the meta value (attachments) to the `v_editor` CPT.
$vid_pix = get_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', false ); // test
//delete_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix' );
foreach ( $prop_att_ids as $att_id ) {
... including the other code here ...
}
$vid_pix2 = get_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', false ); // test
//var_dump( $vid_pix, $vid_pix2, $url ); // test
with this one:
$path2 = $yourID . '/' . $vidID; // relative to wp-content/uploads
$prop_att_ids = (array) get_post_meta( $propertyID, 'imic_property_sights', false );
foreach ( $prop_att_ids as $att_id ) {
// Check if we have a valid image/attachment.
if ( $att_id && $file = get_attached_file( $att_id ) ) {
$filename = basename( $file );
$file2 = $path . '/' . wp_unique_filename( $path, $filename );
// Copy the image file to $path.
if ( @copy( $file, $file2 ) ) {
// Copy the attachment (post) data.
$att = get_post( $att_id, ARRAY_A );
unset( $att['ID'] );
$att_id2 = wp_insert_attachment( $att, $file2 );
// Then add the meta data `vid_pix`.
add_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', $att_id2 );
// Copy the attachment's meta data. (no thumbnails)
$data = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $att_id );
$data['file'] = $path2 . '/' . basename( $file2 );
$data['sizes'] = [];
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $att_id2, $data );
}
}
}
Note that since we're creating a new attachment post, I used wp_unique_filename() to generate a unique file name for the image file that we're copying to the $path.
If you want to generate all thumbnails, replace this part:
// Copy the attachment's meta data. (no thumbnails)
$data = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $att_id );
$data['file'] = $path2 . '/' . basename( $file2 );
$data['sizes'] = [];
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $att_id2, $data );
with this one:
// Create the attachment's meta data. (with thumbnails)
$att2 = get_post( $att_id2 );
wp_maybe_generate_attachment_metadata( $att2 );
Here's the full code I used:
<?php
// File: import-pics.php
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-load.php';
global $current_user, $imic_options; // Use global
wp_get_current_user(); // Make sure global is set, if not set it.
$yourID = $current_user->ID;
$propertyID = $_POST['propertyID'];
$vidID = $_POST['videoID'];
$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/' . $yourID . '/' . $vidID;
$path2 = $yourID . '/' . $vidID; // relative to wp-content/uploads
$prop_att_ids = (array) get_post_meta( $propertyID, 'imic_property_sights', false );
$to_copy = count( $prop_att_ids ); // test
$copied = 0; // test
foreach ( $prop_att_ids as $att_id ) {
// Check if we have a valid image/attachment.
if ( $att_id && $file = get_attached_file( $att_id ) ) {
$filename = basename( $file );
$file2 = $path . '/' . wp_unique_filename( $path, $filename );
// Copy the image file to $path.
if ( @copy( $file, $file2 ) ) {
// Copy the attachment (post) data.
$att = get_post( $att_id, ARRAY_A );
unset( $att['ID'] );
$att_id2 = wp_insert_attachment( $att, $file2 );
// Then add the meta data `vid_pix`.
add_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', $att_id2 );
// Copy the attachment's meta data. (no thumbnails)
$data = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $att_id );
$data['file'] = $path2 . '/' . basename( $file2 );
$data['sizes'] = [];
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $att_id2, $data );
$copied++; // test
}
} else {
$to_copy--; // test
}
}
echo $copied . ' image(s) out of ' . $to_copy . ' copied.<br>'; // test
var_dump( get_post_meta( $vidID, 'vid_pix', false ) ); // test
?>
PS: I previously misplaced the $to_copy--;, though that's for testing only.
