wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php:3347Handles sending an attachment to the editor via AJAX.
One hook fires while wp_ajax_send_attachment_to_editor() runs, in this order:
Filters the HTML markup for a media item sent to the editor.
function wp_ajax_send_attachment_to_editor() { check_ajax_referer( 'media-send-to-editor', 'nonce' ); $attachment = wp_unslash( $_POST['attachment'] ); $id = (int) $attachment['id']; $post = get_post( $id ); if ( ! $post ) { wp_send_json_error(); } if ( 'attachment' !== $post->post_type ) { wp_send_json_error(); } if ( current_user_can( 'edit_post', $id ) ) { // If this attachment is unattached, attach it. Primarily a back compat thing. $insert_into_post_id = (int) $_POST['post_id']; if ( 0 === $post->post_parent && $insert_into_post_id ) { wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $id, 'post_parent' => $insert_into_post_id, ) ); } } $url = empty( $attachment['url'] ) ? '' : $attachment['url']; $rel = ( str_contains( $url, 'attachment_id' ) || get_attachment_link( $id ) === $url ); remove_filter( 'media_send_to_editor', 'image_media_send_to_editor' ); if ( str_starts_with( $post->post_mime_type, 'image' ) ) { $align = $attachment['align'] ??
