Hi,
I want the attachment pages of images to display the description field. How can I do that? Maybe by customising the image.php in my child theme?

    Hi :)

    Sure. Are you using a child theme? If so you can make a copy of image.php and move into the child theme folder. Then, you can insert:

    <?php $description = $post->post_content; ?>
<div class="attachment-description">
<?php echo $description; ?>
</div>

    Ref: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/image-meta-data-101-title-caption-alt-text-and-description/.

    You can insert the above on line 54 after:

    </div><!-- .entry-attachment -->

    Super :) Try:

    /* Image attachment page description */

.attachment-description {
font-size: 14px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

    Etc. Insert the above at Appearance > Custom CSS and edit as required. If there are any issues with this, please, send a link to a image attachment page so I can inspect it live.

    Thanks :)
