I personally like how you can choose to show a post’s image to show up in it’s own attachment page, yet I noticed sometimes it shows the medium size of the image. If you want to show the ‘full’ size of the image, I found a quick workaround.
In the wp-includes folder, make the following change to the post-template.php file.
Look for “medium” in the following chunk of code:
$p .= wp_get_attachment_link(0, 'medium', false);
and change it to “full”
$p .= wp_get_attachment_link(0, 'full', false);
This is a core wordpress file, so keep in mind, when you update your wordpress version, you’ll have to re-do this fix. Does anyone else know how to do this same thing without having to touch core wordpress files? If so, please leave a comment! Thanks!
Thanks Sonya I’ve been struggling with the attachment pages. Still learning the WP ways.
Thank goodness for this post! You really saved my butt. One quick note…I also had to change the text on top of this, so the full text change is:
$p = ”;
// show the full sized image representation of the attachment if available, and link to the raw file
$p .= wp_get_attachment_link(0, ‘full’, false);
$p .= ”;
$p = apply_filters(‘prepend_attachment’, $p);
