    Hi everyone,
    I’m looking for a way to check if a post has an attachment; display the thumbnail if it does and another image if it doesn’t. I’ve tried the is_attachment to no avail.

    This is what I’ve done:
    <?php if (is_attachment()) { ?><?php $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' =>'image') ); foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) { echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, 'thumbnail' );} ?><?php } else { ?>another image<?php } ?>

    What the above code does is print another image, even if a post has an attachment.

    All help is greatly appreciated and this will be my final question.

    Thanks,
    Gregory S.

    Solved:

    <?php
$attachments = get_children(
    array(
	'post_type' => 'attachment',
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'post_parent' => $post->ID
    ));
if(count($attachments) > 0) { ?>
    <?php
		$attachments = get_children(array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'orderby' => 'menu_order'));
		if ( ! is_array($attachments) ) continue;
		$count = count($attachments);
		$first_attachment = array_shift($attachments);
		?>
		<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image($first_attachment->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
    <img src="/img/alttv_small.jpg">
<?php } ?>
