Trying to edit the media attachment page – attachment.php or image.php?

    Hello,

    I’m trying make the image bigger on the automatically generated media attachment page in twenty seventeen. (I know I can link thumbnails straight to image media files, but I think it would be nicer for the user to see a full-sized picture with a description underneath, hence the need for a page.)

    I’m assuming that I have to edit/create either image.php file or attachment.php. Does anyone know if I’m thinking along the right lines here? I’m right at the edge of what I know how to do and am more than a bit stuck.

    Thanks, Leone

    Install the plugin “show current template” and it will tell you what PHP is used to render a page. Then, make a child theme, copy that file into your child, and edit it to work as you prefer.

    Thanks Steve – I had no idea such a useful plugin existed!
