Gatto Nero

Ok, I did it myself: the problem was in the theme I was building my child theme onto: Bootstrap by 320.

They decided to have the gallery shortcode replaced on a sub-sub-php file. I had to hard-remove it from the parent theme. That’s sad.

Thanks, the same question bugged me a lot, this morning.

I wait for this possibility too. I think it’s very important, really, like really really. ??

Somehow, I did it.

I wrote the code here, in case someone needed it ??

<?php
$galleryposts = get_posts('category_name=post-format-gallery&post_count=4');
foreach($galleryposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php endforeach; ?>

What I’ve learnt:

• The sample codes on the Codex don’t work always
• get_posts seems to work perfectly as wp_query… but don’t use arrays ??
• post-formats create a special category name called post-format-NAMEOFTHEFORMAT

I’ll add something… funny ??
I tried to create a new category, called “gallery”, without adding a specific slug.
Wordpress automagically created the slug “post-format-gallery”.

(Obviously, I’m not able to make get_posts function with category_name, but…)

I’ve read the Codex for a solution, but my lack of knowing the PHP makes me not understand how it works, which is the logic beside the code

I tried, but it seems something beyond my abilities…
