<p>Attachments allows you to simply append any number of items from your WordPress Media Library to Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types.</p>
<h4>Associate Media items with posts</h4>
<p>The idea behind Attachments is to give developers the ability to directly associate Media items with any post. This is accomplished by adding a meta box to post edit screens as determined by the developer. Once Media items have been associated with a post, you’re able to retrieve those Attachments and include them directly within your template files using any specific markup you wish.</p>
<h4>Integrate Attachments within your theme with fine grained control</h4>
<p><strong>Attachments does not automatically integrate itself with your theme.</strong> Since the idea behind Attachments is to allow integration of Media within posts using developer-crafted, unique markup, <em>it’s up to you to integrate with your theme</em>. The most basic integration includes editing the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy" rel="nofollow ugc">appropriate template file</a> and adding your call(s) to Attachments. For example, if you have set up Attachments to be used with your Posts entries, edit <code>single.php</code> to include the following within The Loop:</p>
<pre><code><?php $attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' ); /* pass the instance name */ ?>
<?php if( $attachments->exist() ) : ?>
  <h3>Attachments</h3>
  <p>Total Attachments: <?php echo $attachments->total(); ?></p>
  <ul>
    <?php while( $attachments->get() ) : ?>
      <li>
        ID: <?php echo $attachments->id(); ?><br />
        Type: <?php echo $attachments->type(); ?><br />
        Subtype: <?php echo $attachments->subtype(); ?><br />
        URL: <?php echo $attachments->url(); ?><br />
        Image: <?php echo $attachments->image( 'thumbnail' ); ?><br />
        Source: <?php echo $attachments->src( 'full' ); ?><br />
        Size: <?php echo $attachments->filesize(); ?><br />
        Title Field: <?php echo $attachments->field( 'title' ); ?><br />
        Caption Field: <?php echo $attachments->field( 'caption' ); ?>
      </li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
  </ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>
<p>That snippet will request all of the existing Attachments defined for the current Post within The Loop, and retrieve each itemized property for that Attachment. Using the provided details you’re able to integrate the attached Media items in any way you please.</p>

<p>DX Delete Attached Media deletes all of the attached media files to your posts once they get deleted from the system. The standard core behavior deletes posts alone without taking care of related images. Now you can maintain your install and get rid of all solo attachments getting into your posts via the Media button and used nowhere else.</p>
<p><em>The plugin works with WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads.</em></p>


DX Delete Attached Media

Does exactly what its supposed to do. Been looking for a plugin like this for some time.

Automatically deletes attached media from posts and custom post types added via the Media button.
