   I would like to make use of the attachment.php or image.php template file options in WordPress, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. In short, I simply copied my single.php file to attachment.php, then reloaded the page with the attachment (image), and the image doesn't appear. The excerpt (image details) appear below where the image should, and the rest of the page looks fine, but the image itself doesn't appear.

   Is there something special that goes on when one uses single.php for attachment display that I'm missing in this file? Seems to me that simply copying single.php should do the same thing.

   The image/attachment template file is not the same as single.php. Have a look at the image.php file in the default theme for an example.

   Have you read over this part of the codex? It seems that certain things need to occur to determine whether single, image, or attachment.php is used.....

   Nothing in particular needs to occur, they only need exist, which is one is used is determined by the template hierarchy.

   Looking at the default theme helped. Thanks for that!
