Displaying attachment pages in widgets

  • Is there a way to get attachment posts to display in the widget?

    I was able to hack it by modifying the top10.php to add in the post status of ‘inherit’, which is the status for attachment pages:
    $where .= ” AND ($wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR $wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘inherit’) “;

    But it might be nice to build this into the functionality so that it works. Or perhaps there is a way already.

    Doesn’t it work with the widget if you select Attachment under the Post types to include: option in the widget?

    I tried that and it didn’t work. AFAIK this is because attachments have a status of ‘inherit’ in the database, not ‘publish’. In any event, after I did that, it’s working now.

    I will need to test this with respect to attachments. I’ll take a look into that one, since the post_status clearly is an issue.

    Let me look and amend this accordingly in the new version I released. If you’re on github, do you mind sending a pull request?

    Hi, same problem as teaperson2000. Specifically:

    I have links to media files which are articles in pdf format (working papers). I want the widget to list the most popular (most downloaded) articles. I prefer having a link directly to the media file and not to an attachment page which then leads to the file. So I want the media link clicks to be counted directly.

    I tried telling top 10 to count attachments, that didn’t work

    You’ll need to use the fix as teaperson2000 posted above for now. I’m implementing it in the next version of the plugin

    FYI, this is either not fixed in the latest version or broken again. The hack now needs to be /includes/public/display-posts.php

    I’m fixing this in the next version currently in beta
