Bulk Change Attachment Parent allows you to change the parent of one or more attachments (uploads) on your blog. This is useful since the [gallery] feature lists out all images that have been attached to the current post/page. By changing the parent, you can effectively move images between galleries.

Great plugin, dry and simple and redoubtably efficient.
I had already the pleasure to use the quicktag plugin for video
Keep on the good work!
I am writing an article on how enhance the media manager and your plugin is definitely in the pole positon.
Cheers

After activating the plugin, none of these options are available. I’m using WP 3.0.1.
This is a nice web design. I have my own business about real estate in my home country, and I try to read all the possible information about the issue on the net. Thanks for this great resource. These days we have a crisis similar to USA, and the best way to get better is learning about the solutions and measures taken in America and also the internet strategies. Thanks again
Hi,This is a great plugin that I have used for a long time but it seems to be broken – could you take a look and see why it might be messing up?
Thanks!
I posted the fix for the current version here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-_getdoaction-_getdoaction2-is-making-your-plugin-fail?replies=1#post-2137049
Peace,

I created a new version of this plugin which also adds a dropdown to just pick the page from the list and, if the wp dropdown posts plugin is also installed, adds a dropdown to pick a post as the new parent.

Nice work James.
Couldn’t get this going on WP 3.2.1 (clicking Apply to make the bulk change did nothing), but then I tried your version and it works a treat, thanks.
Nice touch adding the drop-downs, too. I’ve never got why so many otherwise awesome plugins go to the trouble of implementing a GUI but then stop short of letting the user select meaningful names instead of using meaningless back-end IDs, so extra thumbs up for that mate.
Cheers,
Ben.
Oh my pleasure! Glad it worked. Hey Alex? If you’re out there, can you let us know if these changes might make it into a new version of your plugin? If you want, I can fork it but it’s your baby.
Peace,
James
Oh, and of course to the original author, thank you! Great plugin, saved me heaps of time. I really appreciate it.
Sorry, I somehow missed all of these comments. I’ll take a look.
Hi Viper.
I’m a novice and I am having a problem with the change attachment parent plugin.After I select my item, click on the drop down box that says change parent, nothing happens.I’m not prompted to pick a location. I sell items on my site and want to move them to my gallery from my shopping cart. I don’t know how to add the code James referred to.

Try clicking edit on one of your attachments and changing the ID on that screen instead. The checkboxes are for batch changing but it’ll work individually too.
Viper, I must be missing something. When I’m on the products page,I select edit on an item, the page comes up to edit but I but don’t see ID anywhere on that page.

Are you sure you have the plugin enabled? Take a look at the right screenshot at the top of this page. An extra field should show up.
