<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>Extend Attachments with add-ons</h4>
<p>This plugin <em>does not</em> directly interact with your theme, you will need to edit your template files. If you prefer working with a UI, take a look at <a href="https://mondaybynoon.com/members/plugins/attachments-ui/?utm_campaign=Attachments&utm_term=wp%2breadme" rel="nofollow ugc">Attachments UI</a></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>The theme can be changed and displayed to only logged in users.</p>
<p>The visitors of the website see your old theme while you are testing the new one.</p>
<p>Only the administrator of the WordPress site sees the new theme that can now be tested safely.</p>
<p>You can also use this plugin instead of “Theme Test Drive” plugin.</p>


WP Theme Test
