filter( 'the_content', 'prepend_attachment' ) on attachment pages may be problem

[thomask]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature: I have created widget where you can put text, and this text is then formated using apply_filters( 'the_content', $text )

it works great, and I think it is the right way, the only problem is on the attachment pages, where the widget text is automaticaly prepended by the attachment image.

the problem is
add_filter( 'the_content', 'prepend_attachment' );
filter on the_content, so it can be easily solved by
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'prepend_attachment' );

but i wonder, if it is not just workaround for a bug. IMHO the image is the content of the attachment page, not something which should be prepended by the_content filter.

The filter the_content is reserved for post/page content only. It should not be applied to widgets.

Suggesting to close as wontfix.

Agree with hakre.

Other than that, prepend_attachment() is a dirty hack: #10275
