  • Hmm, this doesn't look like an easy task to achieve with just a hook, although I could be wrong. I can point you towards the files you can investigate if it helps? If you go to wp-includes/media-template.php, there is code that generates the "edit image" button there. In wp-includes/media.php, it calls the media-template.php file to be used. Hope it helps as a starting point at least! Also just a gentle reminder not to edit these files, but to use them to formulate your own solution. Good luck!

  • I'm not sure what you mean by monkey patching haha but I'm honestly not sure of the exact solution. I just know it doesn't appear it's as simple as using a hook to add a button, but I could be missing something - hence why I pointed you to those files. I also know the media library runs on Backbone so doing some research in that area may help as well. Good luck!

    Perhaps if you describe what you intend the button to do, we could maybe help with alternative ways to do it? Or you could look at wordpress.org/plugins/yoimages. It adds a 'edit crop formats' button - possibly with javascript

  • Thanks, I want to add a button there and execute some code onClick without hacking at the core.

I would recommend that you begin by having a look at a question asked more recently here.

The best option would be to create a custom plugin so that the WP core doesn't get affected. Editing core files is never a good idea, plus you would lose any changes when updating WP.
