[Resolved] I can't update text on my Attachments Page

[Patricia]

Hi,
I can’t update the Alt Text for my photo in the Attachments page as well as the brief description.

Or, I can’t select the “content (no sidebar)” either.

On the same page, I can’t select “no header” “no footer” or anything.

I can’t update the Attachment page. I need urgent help because I’m on a deadline to finish this website by Monday. Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards,

[Tom]

Hi there,

The alt text and brief description should work fine (I just tested this).

The GP metaboxes (sidebar, disable elements etc..) don’t work.

I researched this, and apparently WordPress doesn’t treat attachments pages like regular post types, so the saving doesn’t fire for these metaboxes.

So, it’s a bug that GP even shows these options on the attachment pages. I’ll make sure they’re removed for the next version.

Let me know about the alt and description though – those should definitely be working.

Tom,

Thank you for your quick reply.
I very much appreciate it.

Now the Alt Text, as well as the description, is working fine on the Attachment page. Thank you for letting me know about the GP meta boxes (sidebar, disable elements, etc..) don’t work.

Thank you again.

Kind Regards,

Patricia

Glad that it’s working.

Thanks for the push to get the other options removed 🙂
