Check if post has attachments (not image)

Question

Need to do a check if post has attachments that are not images. I haven't seen this anywhere - thoughts?

Answer 1

You can use the following within a loop:

$files = get_attached_media( $type, $post_id );

Just define the attachment MIME type on $type. Second parameter is optional. Example from the Codex page:

$media = get_attached_media( 'audio', 102 );

With the retrieved array, you can do something like:

if( $media ) {
   //Show the post attachments that are not images, but audio
}

Answer 2

Here's how to check if the post has an attachment other than image (or other mime types):

        <?php $attachments = get_posts( array(
        'post_type' => 'attachment',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_parent' => $post->ID,
        'exclude'     => 'image'
        ));


        if ( $attachments ) { ?>
               // do something
            <?php } ?>
