functions – How to get an attachment id from a filename
Question
I worked this out eventually by tracing through the code for get_attached_file() to see where it was getting the filename from, and reverse engineered the following:
function get_attachment_id_by_filename($filename) {
global $wpdb;
$attachments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_id FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_wp_attached_file' AND meta_value like'%$filename'", OBJECT);
return $attachments[0]->post_id ?? false;
}
This works for everything I can throw at it so far, but welcome any issues people may be aware of with this solution.
