            (
            )

        [filter] => raw
    )

from the above response in [post_content] i found gallery shortcode . the images are not shown.

Is there any possibility to extract the images url alone using that shortcode from post content?.

Answer 1

I use below code for extract images from gallery shortcode, It’s working.

<?php   
global $post;
global $wp_query;
    $currentPageCatId = get_cat_ID( "pagename" );
        $NewsCatPostsArray = query_posts( 'cat='.$currentPageCatId);

         $current_news_postId = $NewsCatPostsArray[$i]->ID;
                                        $current_news_postUrl = get_permalink($current_news_postId);
                                        $query_images_args = array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' =>'image', 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'posts_per_page' => -1,'post_parent' => $current_news_postId);

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