Thank you for your reply. I immediately went trying, hence my lack of immediate response.

Your post was spot on and I could commit and stick to that, rather then switching between certain hooks, not knowing wether they were to be used or not (just as wp_insert_attachment).

I have succesfully created a post, by uploading text from my form and by attaching an image by doing a upload (input type=’file’).
Then I successfully got the image to be added to MEDIA and then to attach it’s ID to the post.

The following code is just plain, without the security features.

session_start();

Based on my current directory path:
// 
require ('../includes/functions.php');
require_once('../../../../wp-load.php');

// required for uploading
require_once('../../../../wp-admin/includes/file.php'  );
require_once('../../../../wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
require_once('../../../../wp-admin/includes/media.php' );

// END requirements uploaden

//The following $_POSTS are coming from my HTML form

$titel             = $_POST['titel'];
$selectedOnderwerp = $_POST['selectedOnderwerp'];//subject
$berichtTextarea   = $_POST['berichtTextarea']; //textarea
$uploadedFileValue = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue']; //<input type = 'file' name='uploadedFileValue'>
$filename          = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue']["name"]; //name of the file
$fileType          = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue']["type"];

Not persé needed

global $user_ID;
global $post;
global $post_id;

// The data for the post
   $new_post = array(
  'post_title'    => $titel,
  'post_content'  => $berichtTextarea,
  'post_status'   => 'publish',
  'post_date'     => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
  'post_author'   => $user_ID,
  'post_type'     => 'post',
  'post_category' => array($selectedOnderwerp),
  'post_author'   => get_current_user_id(),
);

Now create the post

$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);

Get the current POST ID

    
$currentPostID = $post_id;

echo $currentPostID;

And attach the attachmentFile to the post_id

// once more, 'uploadedFileValue' is the name of my input file in html form
$attachment_id = media_handle_upload( 'uploadedFileValue', $post_id );

// from here I redirect  the user
header( 'location: ../pages/page-overzicht.php');
exit;

Then to display that post:

In have created an attachPost.php with the following content

<?php
session_start();
  require_once( '../../../../wp-load.php');

  // required for gettinng attachments

  require_once(  '../../../../wp-includes/post.php'   );
  require_once(  '../../../../wp-includes/plugin.php' );
  require_once(  '../../../../wp-includes/media.php'  );

Then in page-display.php

<?php
  include_once '../pages/attachPost.php';
  $xy = query_posts( 'post_type=post&posts_per_page=10');
?>

You can do the styling by yourself, just plain php:

<div class="itemClusterContainer">
  <?php

      foreach($xy as $va => $key) :?>

        <div class="itemCluster">
            <div>
                <img src="../img/body/MediaVormgeven-en-Ict.svg" alt="gears">
            </div>

            <span class="itemClusterTextClass"><?php echo $key->post_title;?></span>
            <br>
                <a class="buttonMain" href="../pages/page-article.php?id=<?php echo $key->ID;?>">Bekijk</a>
            <br>
        </div>

  <?php endforeach ?>
 </div>

The above was a sumary page, when you click on the actual button you get the data of the post as following on

page-article.php

<?php
session_start();
include_once './attachPost.php';

$postIdNumber = $_GET['id'] // from the button you have clicked to come here;

//Get the media
$mediaArticle = get_attached_media( '', $postIdNumber);

$postIdNumber = get_post( $postIdNumber );
$title = $postIdNumber->post_title;
?>

Show the title

<div id="wpBericht" class="itemCluster">

              <?php
               $postContent = get_post( $postIdNumber );
               if($postContent)
                 {
                   $title = $postContent->post_content;
                   echo $title;
                   echo '<br><br><br>';
                 }
                else{
                  echo 'Er is geen bericht aan de post toegevoegd <br><br>';
                }

              ?>
       </div>

Show the content of the upload, somewhat modified for here

<?php

            foreach ($mediaArticle as $articleInfo => $key)
            {
              if ($key->post_mime_type === 'image/png' || $key->post_mime_type === 'image/jpg' || $key->post_mime_type === 'image/jpeg'){?>
                      <img class="imageSecTwo" src="<?php echo $key->guid; ?>" />
                      <p>
                        <a href="<?php echo $key->guid;?>" download>
                        Download: <u><?php echo $key->post_title;?></u>
                        </a>
                      </p>
                    <?php
                  }
                else{
                  echo 'This post has no attachment';
                }
            }
    ?>

I am very happy with your spot on help.
If this forum allowed me to +rep you I would have done so.

God bless you @bcworkz

So I have started a project which deadline is ending soon.

The custom theme and everyhting has been setup.
The only thing that is required, is to have a overview page whichs shows all of the posts made with the attachments.

Is it correct that I need to seek the attachment by searching for the ‘post ID’, and then retreive it by using SQL?

Where I then use HTML for the markup?

QUOTE “If the image is to be in post content, you could append or prepend a HTML img tag (or image block) to post content”

Is there a page which explains how to summon that content?

Also, I’d like this feature to be implemented because WordPress already adds an image (or file attachment) to a post in ‘wp-admin/posts’. It’s already happening when a post is made so a hook for it shouldn’t be ‘that’ much of a hassle? Where would I be able to file a feature request sir?

Hi, thank you for the reply.

Quote ‘Why wouldn’t you use media_handle_upload()?’
Answer: because wp_insert_attachment actually conntected to the SQL, so I went on with that hook.

I have managed to get the file to upload and be visible when logged in to ‘wp-admin and click within the menu on Media’ by using your advice, but I’m not there yet.

<?php
session_start();
// require '../includes/functions.php';
require_once '../../../../wp-load.php';
require_once '../../../../wp-admin/includes/file.php';

// Verplichte requires voor de uploaden
require_once(  '../../../../wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
require_once(  '../../../../wp-admin/includes/media.php' );

// END Verplichte requires voor de uploaden

$titel             = $_POST['titel'];
$selectedOnderwerp = $_POST['selectedOnderwerp'];
$berichtTextarea   = $_POST['berichtTextarea'];
$uploadedFileValue = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue'];
$filename          = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue']["name"];
$fileType          = $_FILES['uploadedFileValue']["type"];

global $user_ID;
global $post;
global $post_id;

$new_post = array(
  'post_title' => $titel,
  'post_content' => $berichtTextarea,
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'post_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
  'post_author' => $user_ID,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_category' => array($selectedOnderwerp),
  'post_author' => get_current_user_id(),
);

//workin post methode
$post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post);

//The following succesfully ads the image (or PDF) to the SQL, but also to the
// backend in wp-admin/ media -> (image / attachment visible here)
// but whatever I do the image / attachment can't be found in posts -> the actual post

$attachment_id = media_handle_upload( 'uploadedFileValue', $post_id );

$wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();

$data = array(
    'guid'           => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $filename ),
    'post_mime_type' => $fileType,
    'post_title'     => preg_replace( '/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename( $filename ) ),
    'post_content'   => '',
    'post_status'    => 'inherit'
);

//attach meta data as instructed to the post
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $currentPostID, $data );

I have been going for over 48+ hours and would really appreciate if possible, the help, if you could help and or write the final part, so that the image gets into the WordPress post, so I can edit the styling from the WordPress editor when logged in.

I can’t edit my message to include code tags.
My apologies.

Thankyou for your answer.

Perhaps if I narrow the question, is there any way to force this way of writing into the
3/4+1/4 colum? This is the only colum I will be using.
