Add my custom link

I think I’m following what you’re trying to do. Something like the following should work:

$attachments = get_children( array(
	'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
	'post_type'      => 'attachment',
	'numberposts'    => 1, // show all -1
	'post_status'    => 'inherit',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'order'          => 'ASC',
	'orderby'        => 'menu_order ASC'
) );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	echo do_shortcode( '[download]' . wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id ) . '[download]' );
}

Thanks for fast reply.. This however doesnt work.. it just prints the function in the post/contetnt. Example this shows in content [download]https://my-wallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/481.jpg[download] but not doing that shortcode.

Hi

i want to replace url that i NEED to provide inside the [download]and[/download] with my automatic get_attachment_url script:

$attachments = get_children( array(
	'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
	'post_type'      => 'attachment',
	'numberposts'    => 1, // show all -1
	'post_status'    => 'inherit',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'order'          => 'ASC',
	'orderby'        => 'menu_order ASC'
) );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	echo do_shortcode( '[download]' . wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id ) . '[download]' );
}

this works amazing.. but not executing command

Thanks

ei sorry mate.. that worked i didt activated plugin before hhehe ?? soorry again for 20000000 replies heheh ?? thanks a lot once again ?? very very helpfull… This is site that this plugin used on ?? tnx

Apologies. I forgot that the URL should be first be derived before it’s used in do_shortcode(). I tested the following and it worked. You’d of course want to change that up to fit your needs, perhaps pass a label using something like [download label="Download"] or something. Here’s the snippet that worked for me:

$attachments = get_children( array(
	'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
	'post_type'      => 'attachment',
	'numberposts'    => 1, // show all -1
	'post_status'    => 'inherit',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'order'          => 'ASC',
	'orderby'        => 'menu_order ASC'
) );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );
	echo do_shortcode( '[download]' . $url . '[/download]' );
}

Hey Drew …

I succeded with the code above it works like charm…

foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	echo do_shortcode( '[download]' . wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id ) . '[download]' );

Thanks a lot one more time .. nice job ??
