I'm trying to add a slider on my front blog page for every gallery post, but I have some trouble extracting the images from the post gallery, using the following code:
$post_content = get_the_content();
preg_match('/\[gallery.*ids=.(.*).\]/', $post_content, $ids);
$array_id = explode(",", $ids[1]);
The problem is that each gallery post consists of paragraph with text, "read more" break and a gallery after the break and thus get_the_content() skips the images because they are after the break. How can I make it get the whole content, regardless of breaks?
I use "read more" because I want short description about the gallery post before clicking on it to read it.
