   Is there a way to automatically redirect links to the attachment page back to the post they are associated with?

   I'm using a lightbox effect for galleries, but the problem arises when thumbnail images of a gallery are clicked in an RSS reader. This takes them to the attachment page:

   http://thewalters5.com/red-river-gorge-camping-trip/2009/05/rr1/

   But, I would rather it take them to the post page to use the lightbox effect and keep all comments on the post instead of individual images:

   http://thewalters5.com/red-river-gorge-camping-trip/2009/05/

   I've styled the image attachment page for aesthetics sake, but I would prefer they land on the post page.

   Any suggestions? Thanks.

   Found this solution a while back:

   Make an image or attachment page template with the following line:

   <?php wp_redirect(get_permalink($post->post_parent)); ?>
