A client of mine is receiving spam comments on attachments.
Do you mean comments are being posted to attachment url’s and those have spam links?
This is a problem with WordPress initially, for not providing the option to allow/disallow comments on images, but the theme inevitably plays a role in it too. Themes that don’t support comments don’t have this problem. Of course, then they have the drawback of not supporting comments. :\
Anyway, this post helped me on a theme that does support comments. Ultimately, I ended up using the Comment Control plugin, referenced in that post. Probably a better solution than modifying the theme in most cases.

Hello,
A client of mine is receiving spam comments on attachments.
I am using the twenty-eleven theme (child theme)and wordpress version 3.5.1.
I have disabled the comments under the settings/discussion section of the dashboard but still receiving comments.
I have read about the akismet plugin but I believe this costs??
Ideally I am looking for a ‘coding’ way of find a solution.
Any ideas much appreciated
Thanks
