Thanks, I’ll take a look at it.

Sorry to be of bother but, I’m getting through half-way through this task. I know how to pull up pictures from the wordpress database via wp-query. I was able to get some code that allowed me to pull images from the database. Of course, to use with EML i would have to customize it.

Here it is…

/* Function here used to get images from media library  */
function get_images_from_media_library() {
    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'attachment',
        'post_mime_type' =>'image',
        'post_status' => 'inherit',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'orderby' => 'rand'

    );
    $query_images = new WP_Query( $args );
    $images = array();
    foreach ( $query_images->posts as $image) {
        $images[]= $image->guid;
    }
    return $images;
}

function display_images_from_media_library() {

	$imgs = get_images_from_media_library();
	$html = '<div id="media-gallery">';

	foreach($imgs as $img) {

		$html .= '<img src="' . $img . '" alt="" height="" width=""/>';

	}

	$html .= '</div>';

	return $html;

}

/* End of functions to get images */

However in order to get images from a specific category i’ve tried the following…

function get_images_from_media_library() {
    $args = array(
        'category_name' => 'mount-irvine',

I’m not sure if I’m using this category parameter correctly. When I read the documentation it stated that it is to be used with a category slug(not Name) I used the slug that I created with EML. I wonder is that correct??

Thank you for your reply, I’ll try and see what I can do.

Btw you were right about using wp_query to get the pictures from the databses. I didn’t know wp_query even existed.lol I only know about SQL. Like i said before I’m new to wordpress.
