I have a view with all my images of the site. But i like to show only images that are used in posts. Because i dont like to show my logo and pictures for impressum or other images around the site. Is there a way to filter by "when image is in use with a post" then show. And is there a way to filter by category from post where the image is used?

This was an answer in a previous ticket:

"Yes, something like this can be accomplished with two Views. The first View will find all the posts you want to include, using a category filter. In the Loop Output editor of this View, you will place your Media View using a shortcode, inside the wpv-loop tags. Then you must edit your Media View to use a post parent filter, where the parent is set by the current item in a Loop."

Now i make a view with the output of images. And an other view with the filter for posts. It works a little. But i have now a view with Loop 1 "post -> images" Loop 2 -> images and so on. But i like to show only images and the images should show in asc newest or name sorted. Not sorted by posts.

Hi Ronny,

For this It would be best if I see the view myself so that I can get a feel of what you are trying to achieve.

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the website so that I can have a look ?

The private fields will be enabled.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Ronny,

Thanks for the credentials and I see the issue.

The problem is that you want to list a bunch of images based on a category correct? RIght now I see that you are listing all the images from the media gallery which is not recommended.

What I would recommend that you do is to create a separate CPT for your media images and create an image custom field for that media.

Then you will set the Media CPT as a child of your posts, this way the proper images will be displayed and it won't include any image from the media gallery that is not desired.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok, this is a way. But i like to upload an image in an article post. And this should show in the gallery without make more work.

It works, but my problem is, i will show only Images, that are in posts and not the other images. I see the previeous buttons and the logo. This shouldnt show. Is there a way?

Hi Ronny,

There is a way and what I mention in the previous post is the day.

There isn't a way to filter the items that are directtly from the default wordpress media galler so you will need to create a separate cpt as mentioned in the post above.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok, thx. I have now a filter with author and switch all images for Logo and other to an other author. Now it works for me.
