Then you should use custom fields, attachments are for something to attach from your media library. Custom fields on the other hand can be anything you want. http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields For a plugin I recommend , http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/
I’d try to get rid of custom query altogether. Try something like: $attachments = get_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_parent’ => get_the_ID(), ‘numberposts’ => 1, ));
From quick look caption seems to be stored as excerpt (rather than part of data in meta array), so you should use wp_update_post() to add it.
try pasting this in your theme’s functions.php file add_filter( ‘parse_query’, ‘display_autosave_and_revisions’ ); function display_autosave_and_revisions( $query ) { global $pagenow,$typenow; if ( is_admin() && $pagenow == ‘edit.php’ && $typenow == “post”) { $query->query_vars[‘post_type’] = array(‘revision’,’post’); $query->query_vars[‘post_status’] = ‘any’; } }
Just click Gallery—>”insert gallery” . To change styles you edit the CSS file. If the theme is coded correctly post images will have a unique CSS class.
Every attachment in a gallery has its post_parent set to the ID of the gallery post that it is attached to. So if you have two gallery posts, each with several images, then you can tell which gallery post the attachment is in (in image.php) by examining that post_parent. So for example, say you had … Read more
Thanks to @Rarst who led me in the right direction to answer this question! What do you get if you var_dump() return of what doesn’t work, especially wp_get_attachment_img_src()? Do you have WP_DEBUG enabled? – Rarst function product_images() { global $post; $attachments = get_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 0, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘exclude’ => … Read more
You will just have to call get_children() for each gallery: $images = array(); foreach ( $gallery_posts as $gallery ) { $images = array_merge( $images, get_children( ‘post_parent’ => $gallery->ID, … ) ); }
Instead of: $args = array( ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘numberposts’ => 1, ); Use: $args = array( ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’, ‘post_type’ => get_post_type($post), ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, ‘numberposts’ => 1, ); You could also use post/page/etc or ‘any’
I’ve used a work around for this. Instead of using the title name for the file i’ve added another field to use as the title. Not the way i intended but it works.
