Disable comments on attached images, or include them on the attached page
-
Twentyeleven let’s users comment on images that are attached to a post. But those comments are not included in the total comments for the attachment page. So there is virtually no way to know the comment exists unless you click through every image.
The UI should either not invite users to comment on images that are attached to posts. Or it should include those comments in the “number of comments” for the post.
This image has 1 comment, which you can see at the bottom:

But when you close the image and return to the post it is attached to, you would never know the comment is there. If you view all the posts from the home page, that post shows “0” comments even though there is a comment on an attached image. There is no way for viewers to know the comment is there.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey Lisa!
Regardless of theme, users can leave comments on attachment pages. However, this can be disabled if you click on the image in your Media Library, and in Screen Options, check the “Discussion” box. An option will appear below the page to “Allow Comments”. Simply uncheck that option to disallow it and save.
This has already been discussed last year in a similar thread:

Your suggestion sounds like a great idea, but will require a change to the WordPress.org core. Feel free to post it in the WordPress.org Ideas forum:

If it gains enough traction, chances are it will be included in a future version of WordPress. :)
Thanks and good luck!
