Say you have image foo.jpg and bar.jpg in your media library. foo.jpg has caption saying “foo”, and bar.jpg has caption saying “bar”. Create a gallery with those two images, they will show with “foo” and “bar” captions. Want to use them again with a different caption, but using a gallery? No problem.

This is my go to snippet for things like this. <?php add_action(‘print_media_templates’, function(){ // define your backbone template; // the “tmpl-” prefix is required, // and your input field should have a data-setting attribute // matching the shortcode name ?> <script type=”text/html” id=”tmpl-my-custom-gallery-setting”> <label class=”setting”> <span><?php _e(‘My setting’); ?></span> <select data-setting=”my_custom_attr”> <option value=”foo”> Foo </option> … Read more
Use your own gallery shortcode handler – something like this in your functions.php: function __my_gallery_shortcode( $attr ) { // render the gallery the way you want it } add_shortcode( ‘gallery’, ‘__my_gallery_shortcode’ ); To get you started, you could just copy the code from the default handler gallery_shortcode(), and edit as you require.

Thanks to user birgire for coming up with a solution as far as adding the attribute in a meaningful way. The other option besides birgires ( … Read more
Using birgire’s suggestions, I came up with the following solution that is working well with both the old pre-WP 4.x data and the newer posts that have been added under 5.0. // if there is a gallery block do this if (has_block(‘gallery’, $post->post_content)) { $post_blocks = parse_blocks($post->post_content); $ids = $post_blocks[0][attrs][ids]; } // if there is … Read more

Method #1 – Sub query with NOT IN Here’s my first attempt to construct such a query: global $wpdb; $sql = ” SELECT p1.ID, p1.post_title FROM {$wpdb->posts} p1 WHERE p1.post_type=”post” AND p1.post_status=”publish” AND p1.ID NOT IN ( SELECT DISTINCT p2.post_parent FROM … Read more
Here are three methods Approach #1 It’s common to wrap the output with custom HTML. We can do that by using the post_gallery filter and the gallery_shortcode() callback: /** * HTML Wrapper – Support for a custom class attribute in the native gallery shortcode */ add_filter( ‘post_gallery’, function( $html, $attr, $instance ) { if( isset( … Read more
Answering my own question: As suggested by WebElaine I created a completely new block to fix the problem. To make this task easier, I used create-guten-block by Ahmad Awais, which is pretty easy to set up. In init.php I made sure to enqueue my JavaScript and extra CSS for the frontend. This should be straight … Read more
Thanks for your replies, Jan & Rarst. They pointed me in the right direction. Here’s what I ended up with. This disables shortcodes in the content. Perfect for this site & the function gets attached images & spits them out as a list. (I found the function somewhere & slimmed it down a little) // … Read more
