Query post created by mediapress

    Hello, I would like to query post created by mediapress. (The upload attachment pages) The problem is wordpress doesn’t treat them as regular post and therefore I do not know the “post_type” or if it’s a post type at all.

    What I want to do with this info is track the likes of uploaded images. I am using the setup found here: https://buddydev.com/mediapress-development/mediapress-like-unlike-button-for-photos-videos-etc-with-wp-ulike-plugin/

    Everything works fine as far as being liked and within WP Ulike statistics I can see the post-id of the uploads that receive likes. That tells me that some type of post is generated when things are uploaded.

    I want ot use code like this one:

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'monthnum' => 4,
        'meta_key' => '_liked',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    );

    $post_query = new WP_Query($args);
if($post_query->have_posts() ) {
  while($post_query->have_posts() ) {
    $post_query->the_post();
    ?>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <?php
  }
}
?>

    This code shows the top post for the previous month. The above code works fine for regular post but I would like to know how I would set that up to query the attachment post made by mediapress. (specifically photos) Is that possible?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting.

    I am not sure what are you looking for here but here is how we do the media query

    https://buddydev.com/mediapress/topics/api-reference/core/mpp_media_query/

    We use a meta key ‘_is_mpp_media’ to mark a media as belonging to the MediaPress.

    If you use WP_Query, It won’t honour the privacy.

    Hope that helps.

    YES!!!! This did help, thank you so much. I read all through those refs you gave me before today but it just didn’t click then lol. I have a working solution for displaying the most liked media.
    I just now need to figure out how to list them by the date they were liked. But that I’m sure is something that I will have to figure with the other plug-in’s devs because that part doesn’t relate to MediaPress but WP ULike.

    I will post my code in case others are looking for a similar solution.

    <?php
    $args = array(
        'meta_key' => '_liked',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',

    );

// The Query
	$the_media_query = new MPP_Media_Query( $args );
 
// The Loop
if ( $the_media_query->have_media() ) {

    while ( $the_media_query->have_media() ) {
        $the_media_query->the_media();
	?>
		<a href="<?php mpp_media_permalink() ;?>" <?php mpp_media_html_attributes( array( 'class' => 'mpp-item-thumbnail mpp-media-thumbnail mpp-photo-thumbnail' ) ); ?>>
        	<img class="aligncenter" src="<?php mpp_media_src( 'thumbnail' ) ;?>" alt="<?php echo esc_attr( mpp_get_media_title() );?> "/>
		</a>
        
        <?php
    }

} else {
    // no posts found
}
/* Restore original media data */
mpp_reset_media_data();
?>

    Thanks again for your help!
    Cheers
