Get all images from single post in WordPress

WordPress is turning into a platform for developing web applications so almost every kind of site you can develop using wordpress and to work with wordpress is pretty easy than the other applications.

Recently,I wanted to develop one slider which display all images from single post and images are slide into the slider.

As usual, I have used most common function of wordpress is get_posts function to fetch images from the post and for that i have used ‘post_type’ is equal to attachment.

Now, let’s lay down the WordPress code that does this:


$attachments = get_posts( array(
			'post_type' => 'attachment',
			'posts_per_page' => -1,
			'post_parent' => $post->ID,
			'exclude'     => get_post_thumbnail_id()
) );

$attachments = get_posts( array(

'post_type' => 'attachment',

'posts_per_page' => -1,

'post_parent' => $post->ID,

'exclude' => get_post_thumbnail_id()

) );

This will load all images attached to the post into the $attachments variable then you can use a foreach loop on them to get your images display.


<div id="posts">
	<ul><?php
		if ( $attachments ) {
			foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) { 				
				$thumbimg = wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, 'thumbnail-size', true );
				echo '<li class="thumbnail">' . $thumbimg . '</li>';
			}		
		}
?>	</ul>
</div>

<ul><?php

if ( $attachments ) {

foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {

$thumbimg = wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, 'thumbnail-size', true );

echo '<li class="thumbnail">' . $thumbimg . '</li>';

}

?> </ul>

</div>

Above code display all the images from single post and you can use those images for slider or anything else you want to use. .

That’s it.I hope this article give you a good idea of how to get all images of single post/page.
