How to enable description field in "view attachment page"

In Edit Media page, I can enter information under "Description" field. But it doesn't appear on "View attachment page". How can I enable this?

Hi,

Unfortunately this option is not included in our themes. You can try to usethis solution. Use Creativity/gavern/user.functions.php file.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Here is what I did:
1. Used the Creativity/gavern/user.functions.php file and inserted the code in the link
2. Copied that file under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-admin\ (I wasn't sure if this was the right location so I also copied it under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp-admin\user\
3. Tested one of the media attachment links but description test is still not displaying.

Please advise.

Is there something else I need to enable under Template Options to get user.functions to work? I checked Advanced Theme settings page and saw Custom fields, but I am not sure if this is relevant.

There's no need to copy this user.funcitons.php file anywhere or change additional settings from Advanced theme settings, but please change first line of mentioned code into:

Code: Select all

add_action( 'gavernwp_after_post_content' ,'my_attachment_description' );

That did the trick! One more question: How can I enable html tags in the description? None of my tags appear to be working.

Thank you,

Ugur

Never mind! I got it working by replacing this:
<?php echo strip_tags(apply_filters ('the_excerpt', $post->post_content)) ?>

with this:
<?php echo apply_filters ('the_excerpt', $post->post_content) ?>
