Post Attachments Galleries in Bricks

This Pro tutorial shows how bricks/element/settings filter can be used to automatically replace the images of an Image Gallery element in Bricks builder with the images that are attached to the current post (can be of any post type).

Any image that is added to/inserted in a Post/Page etc. will automatically be attached to that post and will continue to remain so even if the images are deleted from the WP editor.

For the posts that do not have any image attachments, the images set in the Gallery element will be displayed. We'll also show how bricks/element/render filter can be used so that the Section having your gallery will not be output if the post being viewed has no attached images.

Add the following in child theme's functions.php or a code snippets plugin:
