(The dimensions on the link attached are being shown because I’m running an older version of WordPress, but I only need to update to 5.6 to make the issue appear)

Could you help me with this? Thank you very much!

I have two installs of WP on one domain. This is a reinstall of a WP site I’ve had for ten years, so I had a lot of photos to import. I did this via FTP, but then WP wasn’t recognizing those photos. I ran a plugin to import them to WP, no problem.

Natch, I don’t want to have duplicates of all the photos uploaded, so I have put the images in the lower-level WP install located at /blog. The main site’s wp-content/uploads all are symlinks from the main WP install to the /blog install. (So they are really in the /blog site.)

I am having several issues:

* the folder that actually has the /uploads folder, all the image attachment pages are coming up 404, even though images are working and showing up
* On the main site (the one with the symlink) is not recognizing any uploads at all. The symlink, though I’m confident it’s done correctly, is not recognizing the uploads, though it should behave just as if the images are all there. Not as empty/broken links, simply not there at all.
* The few images that I uploaded to the main site, prior to doing the FTP and setting up the symlink, are also no longer recognized. However, they are showing empty thumbnails, like broken links.
* None of the previous Featured Images are being recognized…probably unrelated, since I take it the export failed to save that info (bummer) but I mention just in case.

My first question is: does anyone have evidence that symlinks do or don’t work in WordPress at all? Is there some reason to think they wouldn’t?

2nd Question: Is the problem here the use of FTP, or more likely the symlinks?

3rd Question: Anyone have a solution to what is going on here?

My site is futureisfiction.com. I’m currently running a Under Maintenance plugin on the main site, though you may be able to see futureisfiction.com/blog without logging in…not sure.

My site has been down for a week, as I struggle to resolve these issues. I’m starting to freak out that I might lose all my backlinks. =(

I’d like to decrease this space so it looks similar to the Pure & Simple demo. https://demo.styledthemes.com/demos/puresimple/wp-gallery/gallery7/

I’m struggling to find in the style.css file where to decrease the padding. (Also, I used the Full Width Page template when setting up my gallery page and selected the “attachment page” as the link to when I created my gallery. If that’s helpful to know.)

This can be * extremely misleading * since sometimes the images have been copyrighted by others, and are being used by the site owner with permission. There is no space to indicate this on the attachment pages. In fact, ideally, * extensive * documentation could be included on an attachment page (as you may see on a site specializing in historical paintings).

(The existing “alternative” – a caption on the original page – is a step in the right direction, * but * a caption can disrupt the flow of a page’s content. It is also limited in scope and does not compensate for a misleading attachment-page label giving credit to the website owner.)

Overall, the default settings favor * rampant copyright violations * of others’ artwork and photographs. As a website owner who also creates artwork (for which I wouldn’t want others to take credit), I am very sensitive to this issue.

I propose that ALL WP image-attachment pages be made FULLY EDITABLE.

To those who are involved in updating the core software of WP itself – as well as those who create and update WP themes – PLEASE FIX THIS. Thank you!

But I am trying to edit my post attachment page to display ALL images attached to the post not just the previous image and next image. What would be the best way to go about this?

Regards,

I know there has to be support pages that can give me the info, but when I’m searching, I think I’m not using the right words because I’m finding stuff unrelated.

Here is the original code:

`$loop = new WP_Query($args);
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
$image = wp_get_attachment_image(”, $size, false);
$url = wp_get_attachment_url();
$output .= ‘<a class=”‘.$class.'” title=”‘.get_the_title().'” href=”‘.$url.'”>’.$image.'</a>’.”\n”;
endwhile;

return $output;
}`

I want to change the $url argument so that it references the image attachment page link.

How do I find the information that will explain this to me?

I have a blog and twenty twelve theme installed. I have some pics galleries and the image files are linked to attachment page (image.php). Everything is great and working fine.

Now, the thing is that i’d like to place custom links on the image attachment page (for example: credits, photographed by, etc.).

I’m not very good in coding and stuff but I’ve found out the wordpress custom fields might do the trick. I’ve added custom field to a post and using this code link
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'go_to_sponsor', true); ?>
I get the custom field to posts and so on but when putting it into the image.php or attachment.php nothing happens… :(.

Anyone could point me on how to insert this custom field into the image attachment page?

Thanks!

I’m brand new to WordPress and blogging, and I’m still pretty much at sea as to where to put suggested codes when I see what I think may be useful posts online, so if anyone has ideas about this could you be quite specific please? I would really appreciate some help, as I have struggled with this quite a bit now. I have already tried posting on the Suffusion Theme forum, to no avail.

The only way for me to recreate the same result enabling an attachment page for an image is if I manually add the “attachment wp-att” code to replace the “href=” code (which skips creating an attachment page link).

Is it possible to have attachment pages automatically created for inserted images on a subdomain? If so, what needs to be done in order to accomplish that?

Please be specific with help and don’t leave out any steps, including whatever the filenames may be which need editing (and also where they are located).

I greatly appreciate whoever may help me.

Most of my image attachment pages work as they should and place the parent link back title correctly. If the image is linked to from ‘animals’ the title link back says ‘animals’. For some reason there are four or five images where this is not working, and the parent link back is to another section. An image linked to from ‘judaica’ insists the parent link back is to ‘sherlock holmes’ both on the page and in the media library. I have not been able to figure out how to change this.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, were you able to resolve it? The link is being generated dynamically and the parent page is the only one calling the image attachment page, so there shouldn’t be any crossover confusion.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
