Attachments allows you to simply append any number of items from your WordPress Media Library to Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types.
Associate Media items with posts
The idea behind Attachments is to give developers the ability to directly associate Media items with any post.

Great for dynamic Elementor Image Carousel
by MaryMak·3 years ago
This might be a rare use case, but I have a custom post type loop template where I show an image carousel of photos for that post type. I’m using Elementor with Ele Custom Skin to create the template. The image carousel has two dynamic options: “Post Image Attachments” or “ACF Gallery Field”. Rather than paying for ACF Pro to add an image gallery field, this plugin works perfectly to allow my client to select photos for the carousel.
Perfect for file sharing
by shayakraut·3 years ago
This plugin works perfectly for what I needed–created an interface on a custom post type edit screen for the contributor to upload files, and add a description. Contributors can add their own links in the block editor, but this makes the process very straightforward for novice WP users. I am using it for a lesson plan/resource sharing site for teachers. The plugin adds the files to the Media Library. The output can be styled to look just like you want it on the front-end–users click icons to download the files they want.

Grate Plugin

It was a simple and user-friendly plugin. I’ve used this in WordPress’s latest version and it’s still working fine.
