How to Disable comments for images

The quickest way to accomplish this for the entire gallery would be to switch the gallery’s Link To setting to Image File:

I used the edit link to modify the gallery’s Link To setting to “Media File” (there was no “Image File” option); however, this had no apparent effect: when I click on a gallery image I’m taken to the same page where I see the same comment form.

What might I be doing wrong here?

If you do still want your gallery to link to the Attachment Page where you see the comment form, you’ll need to disable Discussion on each image. In order to find that, look for the Screen Options drop-down menu at the top of the page, and enable Discussion.

This did work.

Thank you for your note. The issue is not the naming of the option; rather, the issue is that the option did not function in the manner that was described in the earlier note. Was that earlier note in error, or is this a bug, or is something else going on?

Hi –

Thanks again for your note. It now seems to be working as intended. Perhaps there was a browser cache or equivalent issue. In any event, all images are now appearing in Lightbox mode.

Thanks much for your help!
