List Related Attachments Plugin

List Related Attachments is a sidebar widget and shortcode that will display a filtered, sorted and ordered list of all related attachments linked to current post or page. The widget options are: title, number of attachments to display, type of attachment to display by mime/type, order by value, order direction and what should be displayed (attachment title, caption or description). A complete listing of shortcode options and attribute demos are available that delight and inform. What’s more, there is excellent and free community support and a super-duper online language translation tool to roll-your-own language files.

2. Activate the Plugin
3. Add the Widget to the desired sidebar in the WordPress Widgets menu.
4. Configure the Listed Related Attachments widget options.
5. Add a the shortcode to your post like so: [list-related-attach type="application/zip" count="3" orderby="title" order="ASC" show="caption"]
6. Test that the this plugin meets your demanding needs.
7. Rate the plugin and verify that it works at wordpress.org.

   Hide your kids, hide your husband, this is how the shortcode works.

What are the default shortcode attributes?

1. type = “application” (so basically everything)
2. count = “-1” (so everything)
3. orderby = “date” (by the date the attachment was added)
4. order = “DESC” (Descending in the newest to oldest direction)
5. show = “title” (The title of the attachment)
6. link_so = “file” (as opposed to the attachment page)
