wp_count_attachments() WordPress Function
The wp_count_attachments() function is a built-in function in WordPress that allows you to count the number of attachments for a given post.
wp_count_attachments( string|string[] $mime_type = '' ) #
Count number of attachments for the mime type(s).
Description
If you set the optional mime_type parameter, then an array will still be returned, but will only have the item you are looking for. It does not give you the number of attachments that are children of a post. You can get that by counting the number of children that post has.
Parameters
- $mime_type
(string|string[])(Optional) Array or comma-separated list of MIME patterns.
Default value: ''
Return
(stdClass) An object containing the attachment counts by mime type.
