is_attachment

The is_attachment() function in WordPress is used to check if the current page is an attachment page or not. An attachment page is a page that displays a single media file attachment on the website, like an image, video, audio, or PDF file.

This function returns a Boolean value, i.e., either true or false, depending on whether the current page is an attachment page or not. If it’s an attachment page, it will return a value of true, and if it’s not, it will return false.

This function can be used in various situations, such as to display specific content for attachment pages, hide or show certain elements based on whether it’s an attachment page or not, or conditionally load scripts or stylesheets based on the current page type.

Here’s an example of how you can use the is_attachment() function in your WordPress theme’s code:

if ( is_attachment() ) {
  // This is an attachment page
  // Add your code here to display content for attachment pages
} else {
  // This is not an attachment page
  // Add your code here to display content for other pages
}

In this example, we’re using the if-else statement to check if the current page is an attachment page or not using the is_attachment() function. If it returns true, we can add our code to display content for attachment pages. If it returns false, we can display content for other pages.
