wp media import <file> --skip-copy stores the path it is given. With a path relative to the current directory, e.g. from the WordPress root:

wp media import wp-content/uploads/2026/10/video.mp4 --skip-copy

_wp_attached_file becomes wp-content/uploads/2026/10/video.mp4. _wp_relative_upload_path() only strips the uploads base directory from absolute paths, so wp_get_attachment_url() returns .../wp-content/uploads/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/video.mp4 and wp media regenerate can't find the file.

This resolves a relative local path with realpath() when --skip-copy is set, before it is stored. Absolute paths are unchanged.

Added a Behat scenario that imports a file from the uploads directory by relative path and checks _wp_attached_file and the attachment URL. It fails without the change (wp-content/uploads/codeispoetry.png instead of codeispoetry.png). Locally features/media-import.feature passes (30 scenarios, SQLite), as do phpcs and phpstan.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

For local imports with --skip-copy, relative paths now use their realpath() result when available. A feature scenario checks the stored attachment path and generated URL.

Changes

Relative Media Import Paths

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and verify relative paths
src/Media_Command.php, features/media-import.feature
Relative local paths use realpath() when it succeeds. Absolute paths and paths that cannot be resolved remain unchanged. The scenario checks the stored attachment path and generated URL.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0baf0

Imports through an uploads symlink to a file outside uploads can produce a broken attachment URL. The issue is limited to that case, so merge risk is low, but preserving the symlink path is advisable.

Preserve the uploads-relative path for symlinked imports.

realpath() resolves symbolic links. If a relative path under the uploads directory points through a symlink to a target outside that directory, lines 610–614 replace the uploads-visible path with the external target before wp_insert_attachment() stores it. The attachment URL can then fail to map to the symlink path.

When this occurs, pass the normalized absolute path of the original symlink location, not the realpath() target, so WordPress stores the correct uploads-relative path.
