FAQ

Total Sync shows shortcut as not linked

When you use Total Sync, it shows shortcuts as unlinked. Don’t worry about this – a Lightroom ID can only be linked to one attachment in WordPress.

I see a lot of shortcuts, how can I delete them?

The extension only creates links when necessary. This means that a shortcut is created when an image is added to multiple collections. However, if you want to delete it, make sure that the Real Media Library and this extension are active: Navigate to Settings > Media “Reset” tab and click “Delete WP/LR Shortcuts”.
