# Attachment.php not recognized

 * I’m trying to get the attachment template working, but for some reason WordPress
   is using my single.php instead of the attachment.php I have in my folder. Has
   this happened to anyone else or did I miss a setting?

 * Nevermind. After many hours of frustration, I figured out the paged comments 
   plugin was causing the error. Line 67 of paged-comments.php should be changed
   to:
 *     ```
       if (is_attachment()) {
           $template = get_attachment_template();
       } else if (is_single()) {
           $template = get_single_template();
       } else if (is_page()) {
           $template = get_page_template();
       }
       ```
