Pull all post/page images for slider?

    Hi Everyone!

    I have been looking high and low for a solution, and have actually found a few posts on the matter. However, none of the solutions seem to be working for me—although I do think that they have gotten me close.

    The problem
    I am building a template(s) that should pull all the media (images and video—but maybe let’s just start with images ?? associated with the current post/page and output them as list items in an

      for use in flexslider. This is what I have:

    function add_flexslider() { // display attachment images as a flexslider gallery
$attachments = get_children(array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'menu_order',  'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image','caption' => $attachment->post_excerpt, ));
if ($attachments) { // see if there are images attached to posting ?>
<!-- Begin Slider -->
<div  class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
<?php // create the list items for images
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
echo '<li>';
echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id, 'large');
echo '</li>';
} ?>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- End Slider -->
<?php } // end see if images
} // end add flexslider

    Then I bring in the function like so: <?php add_flexslider(); ?>

    So far this is not returning any results. I was playing around with different variations previously, and removing “post_parent’ => get_the_ID()” got it working, but it brought in ALL my images in a carousel so crazy it would make your head spin!

    Additional Concerns
    I am using this code for a dev. site, so all of the post/page images are actually hyperlinks to the live site. Should this make a difference? Also, all images were inserted/published right through the WordPress WYSIWYG editor, no galleries, fancy plugins, or anything else.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration! Y’all are the best!

    It turns out the images HAVE TO BE ATTACHED…which is to say, they cannot be hyperlinked. Other than that, the code is sound.

    Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by ATTACHED and not hyperlinked? I’m trying to achieve the same thing here, using slightly different code:

    <div class="flexslider">
<ul class="slides">
	<?php
	$attachments = get_attached_media( 'image', 36 );
	foreach($attachments as $attachment) {
	    $img = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'medium');
	    if($img !== false) {
	?>
	<li><img src="<?php echo $img[0]; ?>" /></li>
	<?php
	    }
	}
	?>
</ul>
</div>

    However, the images do not show up in the browser, although they DO show up in the source code, strangely. I am testing locally, using MAMP, and that could present an issue on why they’re not showing up.
