 Hi.  Me and a (ton) lot of other folk could use some help.  I know that
 multisite is only a tiny minority of folks, but the plugin called Network
 Shared Media used to work.  When 4.1 came out, Network Shared Media
 stopped working for Featured Image (and Woo Product Images).

 Now, I'm not the coding Genius here, but I have been slowly trying to
 follow these updates for about 7 years now.  Somewhere in 4.1 something
 happened.
 I used to be able to use the Network Shared Media to put Featured Images
 into a Post or Page, and ~get this~ I could also use it for Woo Products
 as well.  Rock on, right?

 So far, I've pecked away at it, and I know I can't figure out how to make
 it work.  So I've hired folks - lots of folks.  I've even stumped the no.
 3 TOP coder over at codeable.io with this issue.  I've even thrown more
 money into the pot and no one can figure it out.

 Can someone please consider sharing "why" or "what" changed in 4.1?  I
 have a guy with 30 stores (each a separate WP installation) who sells the
 same products at different prices.  So, you see the text is the only thing
 that changes.  But, as of 4.1, instead of using the same image, I have had
 to duplicate each and every image for 30 different sites.

 I know I'm not the only one having this concern.  Over in the Advanced
 WordPress Group this comes up (surprisingly) more times that I thought it
 would.

 Is there any chance that we can, please!, revert back whatever code made
 Network Shared Media break?  And / or, can someone please share with me
 the actual change that makes Network Shared Media not work with anything
 past 4.1?

 Thank You So Much! -Brad
