Get Image Attachment in a Template

You can use the wp_get_attachement_image function to pull all of the attached images to a post or page, but I’m not sure how to do it for other posts as well.

You can use the wp_get_attachement_image function to pull all of the attached images to a post or page, but I’m not sure how to do it for other posts as well.

How can I display them on the front page loop?

Thank you,

Andrew

I tried using this in a loop and nothing happened:

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( 1 ); ?>

Please help,

Andrew

I’m using this on a Page but it’s not showing the post’s images:

<?php
$args= array(
'category_name' => 'Category_Name',
'paged' => $paged
);

// The Query
query_posts( $args );

// The Loop
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>

<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image( 1 ); ?>

<?php endwhile ;
// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata () ; ?>

I am using this function in my post too.

First, paste this function on your functions.php file.

function catch_that_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];

  if(empty($first_img)){ //Defines a default image
    $first_img = "/images/default.jpg";
  }
  return $first_img;
}

Once done, you can simply call the function within the loop to display the first image from the post:

<?php echo catch_that_image() ?>

Okay, thank you.

But how about if I have say 2+ images?

Thank you,

How can I modify it to display all images attached?

Please help.
