 * Hello Im using the User Submitted Posts plugin to all users to post to the front
   page.
 * I use the code below in my content.php to get the pictures to appear too. Its
   all find when the users submit a photo.
 * Problem is when the users don’t add a photo, there is a dead link that appears.(
   you can see this happening here: [http://www.breakuppedia.com](http://www.breakuppedia.com))
   Do help me if you can.
 * Thank you so much!
 * <?php global $wpdb;
    $query = “SELECT `ID`, `guid` FROM `$wpdb->posts` WHERE `
   post_type` = ‘attachment’ AND `post_parent` = ‘{$post->ID}'”; $adimages = $wpdb-
   >get_results($wpdb->prepare($query), OBJECT); // To display the first image..?
   >
 * <img style=”float: left; height: 380px;border: 2px solid #464646;” src=”<?php
   if(is_public_submission()){echo $adimages[0]->guid;} ?>” />

 * oh well, like I said I’d be shocked if I could improv that kind of code. Glad
   you have a fix.

 * keep in mind, if users can add more than one image it will appear also, not sure
   how that will work for your layout.

 * you can limit the number of images with this function:
 *     ```
       function get_random_gallery_images(){
       	global $wpdb,$post;
       		$ids = "";
       		$counter = 0;
       		$number_of_posts = 1;
       		$args = array(
       		'post_type' => 'attachment',
       		'numberposts' => 1,
       		'post_status' => null,
       		'orderby' => 'rand',
       		'post_parent' => $post->ID
       		);
       		$attachments = get_posts($args);
       		if ($attachments) {
       			foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
   
       				if ($counter != 0) {
       					$ids .= ','.$attachment->ID;
       				}
       				else {
       					$ids .= $attachment->ID;
       				}
       				$counter++;
       			}
       		}
       		return $ids;
       }
       ```
   
 * output code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $attachment_ids = get_random_gallery_images();
       echo do_shortcode('[gallery columns="3" include="'.$attachment_ids.'" link="file"]');
       ?>
       ```
