    Can you give some context as to why to do it? Maybe there is different solution then the one you think of. Dec 16, 2015 at 4:48
  • Hi Mark, I'm working on a plugin that allows registered users to write a post from front-end (and uploading images). The problem I have is that when people upload image by Add Media button, it will get post_parent ID as the parent page that contains my plugins shortcode. I'm thinking setting this to 0 when people upload images and update it to newly created post when they click submit button.

Finally found an answer for this and checked it worked on my situation. How to upload image without post ID using the new media uploader?

// Set post_id to 0 when Add Media button clicked
jQuery('#insert-media-button').on('click', function( event ){
    event.preventDefault();
    wp.media.model.settings.post.id = 0;
});

This will set all the images uploaded via Add media button to 0 which will show up as (Unattached) in backend.
