Hi Ross

A solution that modifies only the theme files and not the core files is always much better and I am constantly looking for solutions to replace those that involved modification of core files.

I checked the template hierarchy but there is no image.php in it.

In fact, this can easily be “fixed” with a theme file. And that should also be the preferred way, rather than messing with core files that get overwritten at each update.

All you need to do is create a file image.php according to the template hierarchy:

You can do that by simply copying single.php which most likely is currently used to render the attachment page. Now edit that copy to have full control over how you would like to display your images. To accomplish both no link and full-size images, insert
echo wp_get_attachment_image(get_the_ID(), ‘full’);
wherever you want it to appear.

You have no idea how long I have been looking for this simple fix for my blog… In fact, just so you know it has been over a YEAR. Ive had several coders look at this and they messed with the theme thinking it was one of the theme files. Yet it was so simple as a WordPress file.

THANK YOU for posting this fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
