Affecting Word (.doc .docx) Documents

    How can I prevent the plugin from attempting to embed .doc and .docx files?

    I think when parsing the url before finding database matches, it needs to also check whether the url ends in .pdf. I know that’s not always reliable but I think in my case it will be.

    As it is, when I try to view an attachment page for a .doc or .docx post, it shows the title and nothing else.

    Thanks,
    Larissa

    You’re correct, checking that the URL ends in “.pdf” is the wrong way to verify that the file is a PDF. This is why the database contains the file types. On the other hand, you’re not the first person to ask that the code check the file extension, so perhaps I will add it in the end…

    Thanks for the reply. Is there any modification I can make now so that the media attachment pages for .doc files aren’t affected by the plugin?

    If you’re comfortable doing so, you can add the extra check as shown here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/affecting-gallery-display?replies=6#post-6959214
