I'm using this bit of code on single.php:

$params='[gallery link="file" size="my_thumbnail_small" exclude="'.$featuredId.'"]';
$gallery = do_shortcode($params);
echo $gallery;

But nomatter what I put in the exclude param, it has absolutely no effect on the output, the image that I'm trying to exclude gets shown every time regardless of the params I use.

My $featuredId var contains the ID of the post thumbnail / featured image, which in this test case is 93. I've tried just with exclude="93" incase it's getting overwritten or something but to no avail.

The theme is an almost completely blank one with nothing but a few add_image_size() calls in functions.php and the only plugins I'm currently using is file un-attach 1.01. Wordpress is at version 3.3.2.

Anyone have any idea why this isn't doing what I expect?

EDIT: I've tried the accepted answer from this question on SO, still no dice. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4337999/wordpress-exclude-the-post-thumbnail-from-gallery-shortcode

Maybe there is some theme support I need to add for this to work?

  • are you sure that the image what you want to exclude has id 93?

  • not completely, could be wrong. How I find the id is like this: $featuredId=get_post_thumbnail_id();. When I echo that I get 93. But now you've said that, I'm going to see if I can find out if that's right

You say "regardless of the params I use"...

You're not using the include at the same time, are you?

Troubleshooting ideas:

  • use only [gallery exclude="93"]
  • remove it from the Featured Image
  • put the shortcode in the post content

  • good suggestions but didn't help. I wasn't using include at all, just what I posted. I think something was not quite right with that particular theme or install of WP, because I tried this on another WP site and it worked as expected. Havent figured out what went wrong though.
