• Hello there,

    I am trying to get the number of attachments of the created post with this:

    function fu_after_create_post( $post_id ) {
    
      // Get the ID of the outreach idea
       $current_post_id = $_POST['current_post_id'];
    
       // get the number of attachments created
       $attachments_number = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'attachment','post_mime_type' => 'image', 'post_parent' => $post_id, 'post_status'=>'published',  'numberposts' => -1 ) );
       $count = count( $attachments_number );
    
       //Get number of previous attachments
       $previous_photos_number = $_POST['photos_numbers'];
    
       //New photos number
       $total_photos_number = $count + $previous_photos_number;
    
       //Update the post meta photos number
       update_post_meta($current_post_id, 'wpcf-total-photos', $total_photos_number);
    
    }

    But somehow this part is not working to count the number of attachments to the created post. Any ideas why? Thx a lot!

    $attachments_number = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'attachment','post_mime_type' => 'image', 'post_parent' => $post_id, 'post_status'=>'published',  'numberposts' => -1 ) );
       $count = count( $attachments_number );

    Thx for your help and an amazing plugin!

    Hey,

    Probably
    'post_status'=>'published', is the problem. Try to change it to private, because all the attachments get it when uploaded.

    Let me know if this helped.

    Hello! thx for your answer, but in my settings the post is set as published on submission, so that shouldn’t be the reason. Still I tried with “private”, but the count still returns 0. Strange
