I'm trying to edit the single.php view of gallery images (i.e., the view you get once you click a gallery thumbnail) to remove comments and author name and date.
I tried creating image.php based on single.php and deleting the components I didn't want. However, any attempt to create image.php or attachment.php (both higher than single.php in the template hierarchy for attachments) causes the image to disappear entirely in the attachment view!
When I edit single.php, it works perfectly -- however, I'd like to keep those features in single post pages.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
