Are you looking for a way to count the JPG, GIF, and PNG images in the media library? This snippet will display a total of all JPG, GIF, and PNG images that are in the media library.
Instructions:

- Add this snippet to the location in your theme where you want to display the count total.
function img_count(){ $query_img_args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' =>array( 'jpg|jpeg|jpe' => 'image/jpeg', 'gif' => 'image/gif', 'png' => 'image/png', ), 'post_status' => 'inherit', 'posts_per_page' => -1, ); $query_img = new WP_Query( $query_img_args ); echo $query_img->post_count; }
<? img_count(); ?>
