How do I exclude all images from a wp_query?

WordPress has a nifty little function where it keeps all it’s accepted mime-types called get_allowed_mime_types() ( cleverly named ) which returns an Array() of mimes.

The use of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS is not really a problem, although it incurs an overhead. What happens is, WordPress uses SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS in order to determine the total posts that would have been returned, if no LIMIT clause was provided. This is necessary in order to calculate and provide you with correct pagination links. Disabling it unconditionally … Read more
