    Uploaded images don’t appear in get_posts, although I can see them in Media > uploaded to this page.

    Here’s the code I’m using to loop:

    global $post;
	if ( $images = get_posts(array(
			'post_parent' => $post->ID,
			'post_type' => 'attachment',
			'numberposts' => -1,
			'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
		{
		foreach( $images as $image ) {

    The strangest thing is that it works on my localhost / Xampp site, but not on my production site. I tried removing bits, like the post_mime_type, but the only thing that retrieves anything is if I remove the ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID (I printed the $post->ID, it is available).
    Post is published and visibility is public.

    Also when I look into phpmyadmin I can see the attachments:
    SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_parent=”11371″
    returns a whole list, and
    SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE ID=”11371″
    is my post

    Found it: image attachments were marked as private. I changed the code to

    global $post;
	$a = get_posts(array (	 'post_parent' => $post->ID,
			'post_type' => 'attachment',
			'numberposts' => -1,
			'post_mime_type' => 'image/jpeg',
			 'post_status' => 'private' ));

	if ( $images = $a)

    and it works. I don’t know whether there’s any problem with leaving the attachments private, the users have a simplified front-end interface and don’t need to go into the WP admin pages.

    The idea behind attachments being private is that you have to approve them first, then their status is set to “publish”
