# Attachments?

 * Hi there,
 * I`ve got the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
                  <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></h2>
               <div class="galeryColumn">
                   <?php the_content(); ?>
               </div>
           <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
           <?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?>
       ```
   
 * How do I make the `<?php the_content(); ?>` pull only the attachments in the 
   content of the page?
 * Thanks

 * You will need to modify the Loop to use [a function such as `get_children()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_children),
   and then output the results.
 * This function will return an array of attachment IDs, that you can use to output
   the attachments, or links to the attachments, or whatever you’re wanting to do.

 * Not really, without knowing exactly what you want to do.
 * Did you read the linked Codex page? It explains how to use the function in general.

 * I wanted to pull every attachment from a page and hang it on the masonry grid,
   but I need that code to do it. I can do it with posts because the usual loop 
   pulls the posts already.
 * I wanted a loop that only pulled the attachments.

 * Then you want to [use something like `get_posts()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
   to create an ad-hoc Loop. e.g.
 *     ```
       $postattachments = get_posts( array(
            'numberposts' = -1,
            'post_type' = 'attachment',
            'post_parent' = $post->ID
       ) );
       ```
   
 * This will add an array containing all of the attachments for the current post.
 * Then you need to output them:
 *     ```
       foreach ( $postattachments as $attachment ) {
            // Add your HTML markup here
            // I don't know what it is, so you'll have to figure this part out
            // However, this will output the 'thumbnail' size image:
            echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment->ID, 'thumbnail' );
        }
       ```
