Check If Post / Page has a Gallery

Snippets by IsItWP

The WordPress gallery feature allows you to add multiple galleries attached as IDs in a single shortcode. You can search for the gallery shortcode in your WordPress post or page.

Instructions: Add the following code to the single.php file of your WordPress theme.

if ( get_post_gallery() ){
echo 'has gallery';
} 
else{
echo 'has no gallery';
}

After checking if the gallery exists, you may want to show the gallery. Simply replace echo 'has gallery'; in the above code with the following line.

echo get_post_gallery();

You may also enjoy adding limit to number of images in a gallery.

    if ( get_post_gallery() ){
    echo ‘has gallery’;
    }else{
    echo ‘has no gallery’;
    }

    1. Hi Just a Farax

      I agree, this snippet was posted before wp 3.6 when this was not an option. Ill update the snippet to reflect these changes thanks for the heads up.

  2. THANK YOU!!!!! Saved my life.

  3. <?php if (strpos($post->post_content,'[gallery’) === false){ ?>
    no gallery
    <? } else { ?>
    has gallery
    <?php } ?>

  4. How would you change this to go from php to html to php

    1. What you have above should work fine the other option would be to do the following.

      echo '<span class="className">html</span>';
