  1. You’re trying to retrieve a list of the posts rather than the attachments to the specific post in question. You’d instead need to retrieve the child objects of type ‘attachment’:

    $args = array(
  'post_type' => 'attachment',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'post_status' => 'any',
  'post_mime_type' => 'image',
  'post_parent' => $post->ID
);

$attachments = get_children( $args );

    But you can now use the ‘get_attached_media’ function to make this even easier. Try replacing the $attachments line with:

    $attachments = get_attached_media( 'image', $post->ID );

    If that still doesn’t work, you can temporarily add die($post->ID); in your template and make sure that it’s outputting the post ID correctly. If not, make sure you’re running the code within The Loop so that $post->ID is available.
