I've searched high and low and can't seem to get it.

I'm trying to output an XML feed with all the images attached to a post from a custom post type:

</BasicDetails>
<Pictures>
 <Picture>
  <PictureUrl><?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)); ?></PictureUrl>
 <Caption></Caption>
 </Picture><Picture>
 <PictureUrl></PictureUrl>
 <Caption></Caption>
</Picture>
</Pictures>

I'm using wp_get_attachment_url but it's only returning one image (There's more than one per post)

        <?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)); ?>

The <Picture> is a repeating element so it should start an new tree when there's another image attached.

Any help would be Amazing!

• So do you want all images for a single post in a custom post type, or all images for all posts of a custom post type? – Jason Murray Commented Mar 1, 2015 at 20:59
• All the image urls from a post. The feed is outputting all the posts from a custom post type. – Marco Commented Mar 1, 2015 at 21:15

You need to loop through the attachments within your post loop, replace the section of code you posted with this (put this together from some other code I found related to a similar problem, but couldn't test it):

</BasicDetails>
<?php  $args = array(
            'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
            'post_type'      => 'attachment',
            'numberposts'    => -1, // show all
            'post_status'    => 'any',
            'post_mime_type' => 'image',
            'orderby'        => 'menu_order',
            'order'           => 'ASC'
       );

$images = get_posts($args);
if($images) { ?>
<Pictures>
  <?php foreach($images as $image) { ?>
   <Picture>
    <PictureUrl><?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID); ?></PictureUrl>
     <Caption><?php echo $image->post_excerpt; ?></Caption>
  </Picture>
  <?php } ?>
</Pictures>
<?php } ?>
<Agent>

EDIT - Updated based on asker edits.

use this code in the post loop.

$attimages = get_attached_media('image', $post->ID);
foreach ($attimages as $image) {
    echo wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID).'<br>';
}

this code will return all attached images url
