Overview

The Attachments plugin for WordPress is designed to provide developers with a straightforward method to append multiple items from the WordPress Media Library to various Post Types, including Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types. Primarily aimed at developers, this plugin allows for the direct association of Media items with any post through the addition of a meta box on the post edit screen. This association is leveraged by manually integrating the Attachments within theme template files, providing fine-grained control over the output. Developers can use custom markup to display associated media within their themes, enhancing functionality with tailored UI integration through add-ons. Detailed usage instructions and additional information are available on the plugin’s GitHub page, promoting community contributions and ongoing enhancement.

User sentiment analysis

User reviews for the WordPress plugin highlight several positive aspects, including its ease of use, flexibility, and effectiveness in managing attachments for custom post types. Users appreciate its user-friendly interface, integration with the WordPress Media Library, and the ability to customize the output extensively. With helpful documentation and prompt support from the developer, it also extends WordPress core functionality effectively, making it a must-have for both novice and experienced developers. However, a few drawbacks noted include the lack of comprehensive documentation on GitHub, potential performance issues due to large queries, and limited built-in support for different mimetypes. There are also concerns about the need for paid support.

This might be a rare use case, but I have a custom post type loop template where I show an image carousel of photos for that post type. I’m using Elementor with Ele Custom Skin to create the template. The image carousel has two dynamic options: “Post Image Attachments” or “ACF Gallery Field”. Rather than paying for ACF Pro to add an image gallery field, this plugin works perfectly to allow my client to select photos for the carousel.

This plugin works perfectly for what I needed–created an interface on a custom post type edit screen for the contributor to upload files, and add a description. Contributors can add their own links in the block editor, but this makes the process very straightforward for novice WP users. I am using it for a lesson plan/resource sharing site for teachers. The plugin adds the files to the Media Library. The output can be styled to look just like you want it on the front-end–users click icons to download the files they want.

It was a simple and user-friendly plugin. I’ve used this in WordPress’s latest version and it’s still working fine.
