How to display attachment, audio, or video files?

//This variable will always be empty
//$query = new WP_Query( $args );
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'post_status' => 'inherit',
    'posts_per_page' =>25,
    'numberposts' => null,
);
//place the query after the args
$query = new WP_Query($args);

Hi,
$query = new WP_Query( $args ); was placed after while condition and before endwhile; and I am getting an error response from site. How does attachment from WP media library get displayed on frontend of site?

<?php

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'post_status' => 'inherit',
    'posts_per_page' =>25,
    // 'post_parent' => 210, // Post-> ID;
    'numberposts' => null,
);

if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
  // Do Stuff
  echo ($query);

  // The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

endwhile;
endif;

// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

?>

What method or properties will help populate ‘attachment(s)’ on front end of site?
Right now, echo is displaying ‘array array array array array….’ on front end of site.

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'post_status' => 'inherit',
    'posts_per_page' =>25,
    // 'post_parent' => 210, // Post-> ID;
    // 'numberposts' => null,
);

   // The Query
 $query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();

    // do stuff
    echo $posts;
    
endwhile;
endif;

// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();

?>

You will have to look through every attachment (if any). Right now, it looks like you are getting the attachments.

I strongly suggest to read this thread:

Hi A2hostingrj,

The suggested thread worked exceptionally well and is versatile enough for usage needs described.

How would you go about having WP audio/ visual player execute or play only one media file at a time?

Currently all audio/ visual files will play (AWESOME), however if one is playing and user clicks on media 3,4,5,6 etc. all files will play simultaneously (Not so awesome).

Are you using a video player library?

Hi a2hostingrj,

Upon further research and your recommended link, I was using a variable to call when in fact I should have been using the_content() within the loop.
