Using attached instead of featured image

    Hi!
    I want to force the plugin to use only the attached image (the first one), instead of the featured image.

    I did find this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/using-only-the-first-attached-image?replies=7, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

    In my wp-tiles-class.php, I’m not sure where to make the changes. I’ve found “Returns the first image” and “Finds the first relevant image to a post”, and I don’t really know which one is which… ??

    This is what I’ve tried – does not work (featured images are still used)

    /**
             * Finds the first relevant image to a post
             *
             * Searches for a featured image, then the first attached image, then the first image in the source.
             *
             * @param WP_Post $post
             * @return string Source
             * @sice 0.5.2
             */
            private function _find_the_image( $post ) {
                $tile_image_size = apply_filters( 'wp-tiles-image-size', 'post-thumbnail', $post );

                $images = get_children( array(
                    'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
                    'numberposts'    => 1,
                    'post_mime_type' => 'image'
                        ) );

                if ( !empty( $images ) ) {
                    $images = current( $images );
                    $src    = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $images->ID, $size   = $tile_image_size );
                    return $src[0];
                }

                if ( !empty( $post->post_content ) ) {
                    $xpath = new DOMXPath( @DOMDocument::loadHTML( $post->post_content ) );
                    $src   = $xpath->evaluate( "string(//img/@src)" );
                    return $src;
                }
                return '';
            }

    Hi there!

    You don’t have to edit the plugin to achieve this. So make sure to reinstall the clean plugin files first.

    Next use the pre_wp_tiles_image filter to determine the used image. A function that will only return the first attached image would look something like this:

    add_filter( 'pre_wp_tiles_image', 'my_tiles_first_image_function', 10, 2 );
function my_tiles_first_image_function( $src, $post ) {
    $tile_image_size = apply_filters( 'wp-tiles-image-size', 'post-thumbnail', $post );

    $images = get_children( array(
        'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
        'numberposts'    => 1,
        'post_mime_type' =>'image'
    ) );

    if( !empty( $images ) ) {
        $images = current( $images );
        $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $images->ID, $size = $tile_image_size );
        return $src[0];
    }

    return '';
}

    (to be sure, drop this in your functions plugin or functions.php file!)

    This is the same code as in the thread you referenced, I made a mistake there that I just corrected in an extra post!
