Description

There is a filter available for modifying attachment counts (wp_count_attachments) but no filter for modifying unattached attachments count. Therefore I am suggesting this be added via a new filter, wp_count_unattached_attachments, see attached patch.

The attached patch is against trunk.

Hey @khromov, thanks for the bug report and patch!

Can you provide a use case for this?

Hey Eric,

I'm making a plugin that will allow non-admins to see their own Media items only.

Here is a working copy of the plugin, (assuming the hook is added as per my patch):

The "problem" is the inconsistency that you can filter media attachment counts, but not the unattached media attachment count.

Here's a photo for clarification. The count in the red box cannot be filtered.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

I would suggest that the filter occur before the database query and pass null. That way, if you get a non-null value, you can return immediately without hitting the database.
