Changes between Version 2 and Version 3 of Ticket #57913, comment 68

v2	v3
1	1	Hey! I'm an author of a plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-media-pages/ Disable Media Pages] which has provided this functionality in previous WordPress versions. I'm trying to figure out what's the best way forward for the plugin since WordPress 6.4 as this functionality is now built into the core.

3		While testing 6.4, I noticed that even if `attachment_pages_enabled` is set to `0` the redirection only kicks in for logged-in users. For anonymous users, the attachment page is still displayed. It seems this is because ~~read_post~~ capability [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/e2d61d78ede843c2d05f44a4e15f30a57fb47d95/wp-includes/canonical.php#L553C11-L553C11 is checked before] the redirection is performed. Anonymous users don't have any capabilities so the redirection work in this case.
