Doesn’t create its own attachment type, just allows to better administrate the existing
wordpress attachments, exactly what I wanted, thanks very much !

Excellent plugin. Full customable. Developer Oriented. I just want to comment that
the documentation could be a little bit better. Congrats!

### 󠀁[Excellent Attachment Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-attachment-plugin/)󠁿

 [Alan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alanwhiteman/) September 3, 2016

This plug in works as expected- Perfectly! Well, almost perfectly. After uploading
a document, one has to put the required shortcode [wpba-attachment-list] in the 
post edit window in order to display the attachment on the page view. To work around
this and make sure that attachments show up automatically, except when there are
none, I put the following code in the ‘content-single.php’ template: <?php echo 
do_shortcode('[wpba-attachment-list open_new_window="true" no_attachments_msg=" "]');?
